This is what the LORD says:
“Heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool.
Where is the house you will build for me?
Where will my resting place be?
Has not my hand made all these things,
and so they came into being?”
declares the LORD.
"The Sanctuary" is an outdoor prayer experience located on 30 acres of land on Evergreen road. There are a variety of guided and formative prayer practices available, which are part of the natural environment.
1. The 14 Prayer Stations:
-The prayer stations are set along a quarter mile path that brings you back to beginning. The meditative themes change about every 8 weeks.
2. The Prayer Labyrinth:
-The earthen prayer labyrinth is made out of stones and wood chips. There are a variety of ways to use the labyrinth. Suggestions are posted nearby.
3. Prayer Mosaic:
The prayer Mosaic is a prayer path with multiple interactive prayer stations. It is meant to engage mind, body and spirit through hands-on practices.
4. The Bench Swing
Located at the beginning of the 14 Prayer Stations is a bench swing, hand built by a local Amish woodworker. Here you will find Prayer Books, devotionals, and bibles. 5. The Hammock:
-Located in the meadow and in the shadow of a twenty-foot cross, is The Hammock. Here you can relax and read books from the book box.
6. The Gathering:
The gathering is a camp site equipped with picnic table, benches, and a fire pit. We often gather here for cook-outs and singing.
7. The Tepee:
The Tepee is a sacred space that is based on the concept of the Old Testament Tabernacle. The Tabernacle was a place where Moses was able to meet 'face to face' with God. Joshua once stayed all day in the Tabernacle just to remain in God's presence. In the Tepee you will find a scroll that speaks of this as well as a candle and incense.
