Lectio Divina for Beginners

Sundays @ 4pm

In-person in South Sanctuary of the church

Each Sunday, Pastor Cory leads a time of praying through the Scriptures from 4-5pm and will be focusing on Lenten passages.  Each week, they'll use a centuries-old practice called Lectio Divina that helps us think on and pray through a passage of the Bible.  Then, they'll follow with discussion and prayer.  Our hopes are that this will be part group experience and part reflective worship experience.  Childcare provided.
