Meeting God Outdoors: Zuanich Point Park
“On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wonderous works, I will meditate.” -- Psalm 145:5
Are you wanting to add a spiritual practice to your Advent Season? To find scared spaces to ground you during this time of waiting, hoping, and expecting that is the Advent Season?
Are you wishing to escape the COVID Blues, wander not too far from home, yet be able to stretch your legs, breathe fresh air, and practice social distancing?
We’ve called upon two long-time FCCB members and outdoor enthusiasts, Herb and Marion Brown, to recommend places where our congregants might seek and find remarkable settings for experiencing God’s wonderous creations. We suggest that these places might be ones where you might stop, breathe deeply, then pause for a few intentional minutes of introspection, prayer, and/or meditation.
This week we invite you to visit: Zuanich Point Park.
Zuanich Point Park has lots to offer. It is located on Squalicum Harbor in what is otherwise an industrial area. There is a lot to reflect on here with a meaningful memorial statue and an eight-foot-high anchor to honor fisherman lost at sea. In the link below, the author quotes one of our previous pastors, Donel McClellan, as saying at the dedication, “No words can evoke what the statue will evoke.”
One can contemplate the past, enjoy the present, and think about the future here. There are beautiful views all around and a large grassy area where one can often see people flying interesting kites, or you can fly your own! There are walkways, a children’s play area, marina, flowers, benches, picnic tables, and easy parking.
