7pm-8:30pm: A Special Union Cong Labyrinth Walk at First Congregational Church (40 S. Fullerton, Montclair)

Labyrinths are an awesome tool that allow us to connect our spirituality with our physicality. Dating from the middle ages, when pilgrimages to Jerusalem for Holy Week became unattainable for more people, labyrinths developed as a form of pilgrimage that one could do close to home. Whether you love labyrinths or have never done one, we invite to join us at First Congregational Church at 7pm on Wednesday March 4. At 7pm, we will offer a little background, context, and suggestions/instructions for how you might approach labyrinth walking, and then have plenty of time for folks to experience it for themselves. If you just want to come and walk the labyrinth, feel free to arrive anytime. And remember that FCC’s labyrinth is open to the public every Wednesday from 11am-1pm.

NEXT SUNDAY



Sunday, March 8: Second Hour After Worship With Pierce Switzer

Join us after worship to support and learn from youth member, Pierce Switzer, who will show and talk about his documentary, Passaic, an award winning documentary looking at the toxic pollution on the Passaic River.

Sunday, March 8 At 1pm: Join Us On Our First Of Three Lenape Walks With The Creation Justice Team

Starting on Sunday, March 8, and two other Sundays in Lent, we will hike some familiar and lesser-known parts of the Lenape Trail. It is not as old, long, well-known or as crowded as the Camino de Santiago in Spain, but parts of the trail are in Montclair and Bloomfield: Mills Reservation, the Iris Gardens, Tuers Park, Brookdale Park and Clark’s Pond. Join us on our walk together as we connect to ourselves, each other, and to the Lenape people indigenous to this land.
