Centering Prayer with Lectio Divina
Centering Prayer/Lectio Divina meets in the church library from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. each Thursday. It is an open meeting, and all are invited.
The format begins with 20 minutes of silent centering prayer, followed by a recitation of The Lord’s Prayer, Lectio Divina is three oral readings of the gospel for next Sunday. Personal reactions are shared; however, this is not bible study.
The group meeting closes with each member offering a personal prayer. Participation is voluntary, with each member having the right to pass on their turn to read, discuss, or pray.
