Labyrinths of West County Part 1

Jesus said to them, Come away to a quiet place and rest for awhile
Mark 6:32

Be still and know that I am God
Psalm 46:10



Presbyterian Women at St. Mark went on a tour of local labyrinths. Our first stop was at Delmar Baptist church in Town and Country.  They had a sign before we entered with the following:
A Thin Place:  Ancient Celtic Christianity emphasized the connectedness of all things.  This was symbolized by a circle at the center of the cross.  One of the defining beliefs was the presence of God in creation.  they often spoke of thin places, a place where the veil between the physical realm and the spiritual realm become so thin that we encounter the presence of God in a deeper way.  A thin place is a sacred location that draws you into the life of God.  It is our hope that this garden will become a thin place for you.




And when you turn to the right or when you turn to the  left, your ears shall hear a word behind you saying, "This is the way; walk in it." 
Isaiah 30: 21
