Amid the noise and rush of holiday preparation, this is a unique opportunity to celebrate the journey through darkness towards the light of the mystery of Christmas. At 7 p.m., on December 4, take time for a calm breath in the crisp winter air and a short walk to contemplate the blessings and opportunities of the Christmas season. 

As the winter solstice approaches, this free and family-friendly event is a reminder that darkness is overcome by light. The Creator’s gift of light shining in the darkness is a guide on the journey towards a new birth of hope, peace and love. Attendees are asked to dress warmly for the outdoor labyrinth walk and are invited to enjoy warm refreshments inside afterwards.  

This moving service of worship demonstrates how the light of hope guides one’s journey even when the path is not obvious. Participants will leave the candle-lit labyrinth walk with divine promises ringing in their ears, a simple, encouraging song on their lips and comfort in their hearts.

The Journey of Faith Labyrinth is open daily dawn to dusk. Information about labyrinth walking is available on the church’s website.

Location: Christ Church, 1600 Washington Valley Rd., at Crim Road, Martinsville. Participants may park in the lot off of Crim Road and meet inside the church doors. For more information, call Reverend Susan Joseph Rack at 908-722-2080, email [email protected] or visit ChristChurchEmerging.org.
