This is a small, 3-circuit labyrinth that is found along the church's Meditation Trail. The labyrinth was an Eagle Scout Project completed in 2010. The pathway is a made with crushed red granite gravel with the edges made of cut bricks of dark gray stone. The diameter of the overall labyrinth is about 22 feet wide. There is a short entrance area leading into the labyrinth which then bends a few times on one side before arching to the other side and turns a few times before entering into the center circle area.
Although this labyrinth is designed to be a small one, the same principles of entering it would still apply. The pathway to the labyrinth's center is designed to complement the concept that walking a labyrinth allows you to meditate and release your tensions and worries on the way in. At the center, you can leave those frustrations there and can return on the same path back with a more relaxed attitude of hope and contentment.
