Resurrection Prayer Walk
Prayer Walk Introduction
This Holy Space
As you enter the Resurrection Prayer Walk, step away from the demands and distractions of life and spend time connecting with God through listening, prayer and reflection. The path is about one third of a mile, or the same distance as the Via Dolorosa—the path Jesus walked from Pilate’s court to the cross. The scripture, natural surroundings and art encountered at each station follow the mission and ministry of Christ.
There is no right or wrong way to journey this path of prayer. You may choose to spend time in silent reflection, meditate on the scriptures posted at the stations, express the prayers of your own heart either silently or spoken, or follow the reflections and prayers in this guide.
Regardless of what you decide, we believe you will encounter God’s presence as you spend time in prayer and contemplation in this holy space.
