You may be aware that a labyrinth is available at ELPC for prayer and walking on Mondays, 7 am–1 pm, and Wednesdays, 9 am–9 pm. But, did you know this ministry also extends around Pittsburgh and beyond? Here are just a few instances among the many times throughout the year we provide labyrinths for others to use:
- What began several years ago as a one-time use as part of Nurses’ Week at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, has become a quarterly partnership. On those occasions, patients and staff are able to walk the labyrinth, and their chaplains also incorporate it into their worship service.
- For a week every January, the Campus Ministry Association at Robert Morris University places our labyrinth in their Chapel, offering students and faculty an opportunity to pray with it.
- During Lent each year, the Presbyterian Church in Sharon, Pennsylvania, borrows one of our labyrinths for their food drive. They place donated canned and dry goods along the paths and encourage people to pray for those who are hungry.
