What Is The advent Labyrinth?

If you have never visited a Labyrinth before, don't worry. Unlike a maze there are no dead ends, and you cannot get lost. The pathway leads you to the centre and a different way back out again, so you do not need to retrace your steps.

The Advent Labyrinth consists of twelve 'stations' designed to help you to pray, think, and meet God. On arrival you will find a printed guide - simply walk along the paths in the Labyrinth, following the instructions in the guide at each numbered station:

1. Stargazing
2. Baggage
3. Boxes
4. The Oasis
5. Lost and found
6. Lies and betrayal
7. God in flesh
8. Light
9. Doubt
10. Being rescued
11. Refugees
12. Back home

You don't have to do anything that you feel uncomfortable with, and you are free to miss out stations if you wish. Take the walk at your own pace, but please try not to disturb others who may be deep in prayer.

We look forward to welcoming you to our 2003 Advent Labyrinth...
