Spiritual boosts. Too available?

The ICYM youth set up the Prayer and Meditation Center at Christ UMC for the 4th year. We offer this special experience during Holy Week for anyone. The main sanctuary/Memorial Hall is transformed. A 35' 13-circuit labyrinth (Chatres) is surrounded by a dozen multi-sensory stations.

Each station offers a the chance to connect with God, reflect, pray, express, and ponder. It is open 9a - 9p Monday and Tuesday, 9a - 6p on Wednesday.

It's been publicized and personal invitations sent.
There will probably be about 75 - 90 people who go through it.

So why don't more people partake? Why do the regulars pop their head in and say "Oh, it's maze time, again."

I can't help but connect this attitude with many Christian's attitudes... "Oh look, it's Jesus, again."

What's your reaction to opportunities to just sit with Jesus?
