Have you ever wanted your bible knowledge to move from your head into your heart so your life would change? Do you long for quiet and stillness in your busy, noisy lives to hear God’s quiet voice?
Please join us in learning simple practices that Christians have used to connect deeply with God for centuries, and then have a group to support you in your practice.
On January 12 and 19, we will offer a two-week workshop to learn the basics of a prayerful reading of scripture called Lectio Divina and silent Christian meditation called Centering Prayer during the Sunday school hour.
Then, beginning in February, we will practice going deeper into that Sunday’s gospel lesson using Lectio Divina and sitting together in God’s presence in Centering Prayer. All are welcome, and no previous experience or homework is required.
Questions? Please get in touch with the Rev. Louise Samuelson, associate rector, at lsamuelson@sjd.org.
