Kingston Labyrinth

A beautiful labyrinth was built at Kingston Episcopal Parish in Mathews, Virginia under the direction of Mary Chapman. TLS provided a $500 grant to assist in the cost of excavation and preparation of the land to be performed by a licensed contractor: sand, gravel and pavers will be used. The congregation provided the labor to install labyrinth.

It was amazing to watch everyone work together to create this work of art that will be enjoyed by the community for years to come. On a prepared circle of crush and run....Parishioners moved about 11 tons of stone dust by wheelbarrow and shovel and carried and placed over 1300 pavers....they raked and leveled and swept in a sequence of cooperation that was wonderful. The written prayers have been incorporated into the labyrinth and any additional prayers will be added to the surrounding space.
