Praying with Labyrinths...

Exodus 13:21

New International Version (NIV)
21 By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night.

Early in June a group of youth and adults from the ELCA Southwest Conference will gather for the 2012 Assembly. This year the group will be reading, studying and applying what they learn from the Exodus story (Exodus 13:21) over three days. We will integrate a 9x12 ft. walkable Labyrinth as a prayer tool,


create personal travel Labyrinths, and be wearing a seven circuit Labyrinth on our "family" shirts (with the graphic below printed on them) as a reminder that God goes with us wherever we go.


It is with a thankful heart that I will be attending Convo as chaplain for this awesome group of youth and adults. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we gather from June 6th-9th, 2012.

Connected in prayer, we will travel this journey together!
