What is Lectio Divina? Lectio Divina (Latin for “Divine Reading” or “Sacred Reading”) is a contemplative practice rooted in the Christian monastic tradition. It combines slow, attentive reading of a biblical or sacred text with meditation, prayer, and silence. Unlike traditional Bible study, Lectio Divina asks us to set aside the "analytical mind"—the part of us that wants to dissect the text, check the Greek translation, or figure out the historical context. Instead, we listen with the "heart," engaging the text with imagination, senses, and feeling. The core question of Lectio Divina is not "What does this text mean?" but rather: "What is God saying to me through this text, in this moment?"

There will be two small groups running throughout the Easter season. One will be run by Deborah Neal in the Lower Lounge of the Hall on Wednesdays at 7:00 PM starting on April 8.  The other will be run by Bea Fulton at her house (which is 7 minutes away from the church) on Wednesdays at 2:00 PM starting on April 15. The program runs until May 6. Both groups will be running Lectio Divina on the First Letter of Peter.

If you are interested in joining either group, there will be a sign-up sheet in the hall or call the office. Maximum number of participants is 5 in each group.
