Lectio Divina (“Sacred Reading”) and Visio Divina (“Sacred Seeing”) are ancient spiritual practices in which the written word and visual images are used as a way of listening for God. Join us in the Chapel for an introduction and practice of these spiritual disciplines. All are welcome, but we would appreciate your registering so we know how many people are coming. Breakfast will be served afterward. This event is part of our Contemplative Summer Practices Series. We are hosting three contemplative events this summer as a way to bridge the contemplative service's summer pause: labyrinth walk and picnic, Lectio Divina/Visio Divina and breakfast, and centering prayer and breakfast.
The traditional service lasts right around one hour each week and includes prayer, hymns, scripture reading, and a sermon. This service is also streamed live on our website and on WAXN-Channel 64. The service is rebroadcast the following Saturday at 9 a.m. Is it your first time visiting us? Find out where to park and more about your arrival here.
