Invitation to Lectio Divina

Only with a slight cringe am I using this blog as a bulletin board today. I just want to get the word out as widely and as quickly as possible about the invitation to explore Lectio Divina over the next several weeks.

You are invited this Sunday (April 20) to join myself and Stepfanie Funk in learning and practicing Lectio Divina.

Lectio Divina is a means of experiencing union with God through the scriptures. We hear God’s word for us through His Word. This community was introduced to Lectio Divina by Mike Stewart at the Prayer Workshops last fall.

As we embark on a new series focusing on the book of James, anyone interested in exploring Lectio Divina will follow the scripture focus for the morning, for each Sunday of the series.

Who: All are invited to come … any and all weeks
When: Sunday, 9:30-10:30 AM each week of the series on the Book of James
Where: Café area of The eXchange
What: Lectio Divina – some group time to orient ourselves followed by some solo time to experience what God has for each of us
Please bring: a Bible (though the passage will be provided on a printout as well), a pen and journal/writing paper

Any questions, please email me at candice@seedschurch.ca.

Come and try it out!

And perhaps ... some of what comes of the Lectio Divina ... will appear in subsequent postings here ... what this blog was really created for.
