What is Lectio Divina Practice at Keystone?
Come spend a couple minutes in centering time, as we reflect on the lectionary scripture for the upcoming Sunday.
Each Wednesday Keystone offers a mid-week pause: a contemplative, prayerful practice at 6 pm on zoom.
Here is what the flow is like at Lectio Divina practice (on 3/23/22 we made a couple tweaks to our format, so here is what you can expect. Let Rita and Lauren know any questions!)
2 times listening to scripture Reading and close at 6:20 pm.
Simply bring yourself and any bible! (The scripture reading will also be posted in the zoom chat.)
6pm- Welcome
Silence x 3 mins with a bell to bring us back.
Make yourself comfortable as you settle in for a time of quiet prayer. Breathe deeply to settle your body and your mind, becoming aware that you are in God's presence.
Listen to the first person read Scripture (just volunteer at the start.) What word or phrase speaks to your heart? When the group is invited to share, speak that work or phrase aloud.
Listen to the second person read the Scripture passage aloud, spend a few moments in quiet reflection on what God may be saying to you through this word or phrase. When the group is invited to speak, share what this word or phrase means to you. A question, or a reflection? How you feel God may be calling you to respond.
We end with a prayer of thanksgiving for our encounter with God's word.
6:20 pm- Peace, Close.
