Lectio Divina, which means" sacred reading" in Latin, is a spiritual practice people have used to prayerfully read the Holy Scriptures since the first centuries of Christianity. The practice invites people to engage the sacred texts in a new way with the focus on discerning how God may be at work in your life and as a way of finding comfort and healing in the sacred texts. Facilitators will be available to lead the group through the prayer practice every week.
