Lectio Divina Group
Tuesdays at 10:00 am in the Daughters’ room.
Lectio Divina is a meditative way of reading the Bible in which we let go of our agendas and open ourselves to what God is trying to say to us. Lectio Divina means: “divine reading” in Latin. Come try this ancient way of praying with scripture. See Leah for questions.
