Quiet Place Events

Come to the Quiet Place (room 5) and partake in a series of evenings that focus on reflection, prayer and sharing with others.

A Quiet Place Invitation – Lectio Divina on a Sacred Text

Monday evening, May 21, 2012 6:30 p.m.

Lectio Divina is a spiritual or prayer practice where one hears a sacred text three times, with silent prayer time between each time. The first time the text is read we are noting what we notice or what “grabs us”. The second time we hear the text we notice if there is a specific word or phrase that jumps out at us. The third time we hear the text, we are listening for what good word or message may be calling to us for our life or for the world. Those participating are welcome to share insights or not as they feel led.

May, June and July will offer three Lectio Divina experiences in The Quiet Place. This first one will use a sacred text/story as the focus. The second one in June will use art as the focus. And the third one will use story as the focus. I hope you’ll consider joining us as a way to learn more about Lectio Divina and pray in a different way these nights!
