July: Yorkshire Churches on Show
In the Church Pavilion at the
Great Yorkshire Showground
. The theme in 2008 is: "TheGood
Shepherd"... John chapter 10: "I know my sheep and my sheep know
me". Building on the positive responses of previous years, the design
team plan to offer a refreshing and inspiring labyrinth experience. The
aim is to enable visitors to explore, reflect upon, and encounter tenets
of the Gospel in everyday life.
Focus will be particularly given to the Good Shepherd:
-
knowing his flock by name
-
feeding them
-
leading to places of refreshment
-
protecting them
-
leading through places of danger
-
rescuing them
-
and bringing them safely home
The labyrinth will
have four areas where a person may pause and reflect....
Area 1 - The Green Places - where the
sheep are fed
A power-point display introducing and re-telling the story
of the Good Shepherd
Area 2 - The Place of Refreshment - where sheep rest
Inspiring images of creation reflected in a prayer pool,
giving visitors opportunity to rest,
reflect and float their own prayers
Area 3 - The Place of Danger - being shown the way
Confrontation with difficulties and dangers: around the world, in farming,
in each of our lives,
with footsteps to help lead the way through danger.
Area 4 - A Place
of Safety- coming home
Acknowledging that we are each called by name. Given the opportunity
to visitors to add their own name to the sheepfold.
