Maundy Thursday Labyrinth & Stations of the Cross | Holy Week 2024

Time & Location: 7:00 a.m.-6:45 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall

Holy Week

Holy Week lends itself to nurturing one’s own faith through quiet, reflection, prayer, confession, thanksgiving, and intentional focus. We are setting aside the Fellowship Hall for these purposes on Thursday and Friday of Holy Week.

The Labyrinth will be placed on the floor of the room and Bibles, devotional materials, hymnals, and information about walking the labyrinth will be made available there.

Stations of the Cross depict, in order, the last events in the life of Christ through his death. Thoughtfully giving attention to these allows individuals to focus on Christ’s final hours and what he experienced, moments and events that demonstrate salvific love.

It takes approximately 30 minutes to walk the labyrinth and a similar timeframe to move through the stations, which will be placed along the walls. A few chairs will be present for continued reflection time. Multiple people can be in the room at once, respectfully giving space and quiet to others.

Spending such time reflecting, as well as attending the Maundy Thursday service, often brings deeper meaning and joy when worshiping on Easter Sunday morning.

Our canvas labyrinth is a replica of the one originally laid in the twelfth century in the floor of the Chartes Cathedral in France. During Holy Week, River Road Church cordially invites you to experience a meditative walk.
