LABYRINTH PROGRAM
Come, Walk, Find Rest for Your Soul

The walking labyrinth is a celebration of diversity which bridges social and cultural boundaries while fostering hope and healing for people of all traditions. The labyrinths at the First Congregational Church are offered as a spiritual and meditative resource for all. Come, walk, listen, release, and relax.

Our indoor labyrinth is available on a regular monthly schedule. It is set up at Riley Hall, our parish hall, which is dedicated to community service. Riley Hall is located at the intersection of Hanover and Silver Streets – just across the street from the church. The outdoor Labyrinth is located behind Riley Hall at the end of the parking lot.

Those who wish to experience the Labyrinth but are unable to walk the path may trace the Labyrinth pattern with our finger labyrinth tool (right).  The finger Labyrinth is available whenever the indoor Labyrinth is offered.
