Good Friday Labyrinth
Introduction
|
For
Good Friday we are offering a Labyrinth. The idea is that the Labyrinth
would be available for individuals during the whole of Good Friday and
possibly the Saturday and Sunday too.
If you have a Good Friday Service I would suggest the person leading
walks the labyrinth reading the reflections. While doing this it might
be a good idea to use young people and children to carry items from the
stations around to the congregation. This will give those that are unable
to walk the labyrinth an opportunity to share in the experience.
We offer a suggestion of 2 songs per station and would suggest
using probably 4 or 5 during the service. We offer these as
PowerPoint files and as videos where we can, but note that the focus of attention should be the
labyrinth and it's stations. In addition this service will often be in
the round which would make projection difficult.
There is a PDF that has the instructions for building the Labyrinth
along with reflection sheets that can be printed and laminated and
placed on each station. - Download.
