Hillcrest Prayer Labyrinth
On the 2005 Asbury location, please take advantage of the opportunity to participate in Hillcrest’s first-ever labyrinth. A labyrinth is a prayerful walking path that allows travelers to journey to a destination that they can see, but cannot understand how they will get there. This labyrinth was created for use by all at Hillcrest and the Dubuque community. It was designed to bring public attention to the fact that Hillcrest will be soon be building a Chapel and Fitness Center that will be the home of a permanent labyrinth, inlaid into the floor of the upstairs chapel.
I invite you to take a few minutes, when you are in the area, to walk the labyrinth, contemplate your destination and how the unexpected paths we take help us arrive at our goal.

Before he began participating in our Education Program, he seldom attended school at all or would spend all of his class time in a deep, depression-induced sleep. While here he has attended school every day, and the length of his on-task behavior in relation to the sleeping episodes has steadily increased. He is doing very well in scho...
