In many ways, testimony is the most democratic—and empowering—of all Christian practices.  The entire New Testament is a testimony, a record of experiences that early Christians had with the transformative power of God.  Those early believers wrote down theirtestimonies their experiences of sharing their testimonies, and the impace of their testimonyes on the people around them.  This basic structure unerlies almost every book in the New Testament—-most of which claim to “witness” or “testify” to the love and grace of Jesus Christ.

Continuing the Conversation

This week, our communal theme is “contemplation”. As we continue the conversation, we invite you to learn more about various tools that help us listen to God.

A labyrinth is a meandering path, often unicursal, with a singular path leading to a center. Labyrinths are an ancient archetype dating back 4,000 years or more, used symbolically, as a walking meditation, choreographed dance, or site of rituals and ceremony, among other things. Labyrinths are tools for personal, psychological and spiritual transformation, also thought to enhance right-brain activity. Labyrinths evoke metaphor, sacred geometry, spiritual pilgrimage, religious practice, mindfulness, environmental art, and community building. 

Please take a moment to visit this website, spend some time in prayer as you move through a labyrinth.
