We therefore welcome all persons into the life and ministry of our congregation. We welcome, affirm, and celebrate people of all races, cultures, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, gender identities, socioeconomic status, education, physical and mental abilities, or faith ​histories.

Walk as One for Peace

A World Labyrinth Day Celebration

The Walk as One for Peace will take place at the labyrinth in Central Park in downtown Spartanburg, SC on Saturday, May 6 from 12:45-1:45pm. The focus of this experience is to walk the labyrinth and join others in praying for world peace. Instructions will be available for those who are new to the practice of walking a labyrinth.

Every year on the first Saturday in May thousands of people around the world participate in World Labyrinth Day, this moving meditation for world peace and celebration of the labyrinth experience.
​
Many participants will “Walk as One at 1” by walking a labyrinth at 1:00 p.m. local time to create a rolling wave of peaceful energy passing from one time zone to the next around the globe. There will be individual walks, local community celebrations (with all applicable health precautions) and worldwide connections through online events and social media. All are invited to join in this local walk.
