A Prayer Labyrinth will be marked out at Brigg Methodist Church, Barnard Avenue, later this week.
“In the hustle and bustle of modern life, do you sometimes feel you don’t have enough quiet time with God?” the organisers ask.
“Come and walk our prayer labyrinth and find the quiet spaces we all need in our spiritual lives.”
Pop in between 2pm and 9pm on Friday, August 19, or between 9am and 4pm on Saturday, August 20.
Visitors can follow the labyrinth at their own pace and come and go as they please.
The event is described as suitable for all ages.
Refreshments, including soup, will be available. No charge, but donations welcome.
