On Sunday, June 20, 2004 at noon, after
Friends Meeting, we will have a 30
minute Peace Vigil at the Center for Hope and Healing's copy of the
eleven-circuit
Chartres Labyrinth, the
entrance to which is marked by a
Peace Pole. This year we will add a set of peace flags to the
site. There is room for over 100 people in the labyrinth, so come and join us for the vigil, feeling free to offer a
thought about peace as we stand together.

The graceful labyrinth in the back yard of the Center
for Hope and Healing South Paris,
Maine, invited the placement of a Peace Pole to mark its entrance.
The labyrinth, with its spiritual message of
cleansing, illumination, and unification, is a great peace maker.
Our peace pole, with its four faces, has the peace message in the languages of the four
best-represented ethnic groups of the Oxford Hills Region:
Passamaquoddy, French, Finnish, and English. Below them, on
adjacent faces, we placed the Peace Prayer in Hebrew and Arabic
to join in the work of bringing peace to the Holy Land of Jew,
Christian, and Muslim.
Directions to the Center for Hope and Healing:
South Paris is 25 miles north of Gray on Route 26. At Market
Square in South Paris, Route 26 takes a sharp left turn toward
Bethel. About 1/10 mile north of Market Square lies Moore Park with maple
trees and an attractive gazebo. Rte. 26 goes to the right of the
park, and High Street goes to the left of the park. The Center for
Hope and Healing is opposite the gazebo at 52 High Street, and there
are signs out front. There's lots of room to park on both sides of
the street.
To get to the labyrinth, park
out front unless you are handicapped, and go up the Center's
driveway past the garage where you'll see the white marble of the labyrinth
in the lawn ahead of you. Handicapped people are welcome to drive
all the way to the labyrinth if the lawn is dry and firm,
otherwise leave your car on the hot top driveway next to the
garage.
