The outdoor grounds of page-2150039 host two distinct ministries designed for spiritual reflection and community hospitality:

Outdoor Prayer Labyrinth

  • Design: Modeled after the historic labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral in France.
  • Purpose: Offers a single winding path to the center and back, providing a quiet space for contemplation, prayer, and slowing down.
  • Access: Open to the entire Mansfield community.

Little Free Library

  • Located steps away from the labyrinth.
  • Operates on a "take a book, leave a book" model to foster lifelong learning and connect neighbors of all ages.

Leadership & Legacy

These ministries were established through the vision, dedication, and generous efforts of Samuel and Karen Cooke, whose contributions created lasting resources for spiritual connection and community engagement at St. James.
