Lectio Divina: A Biblical Spiritual Practice Welcoming to All

Lectio Divina is a method of reading and listening, lingering with, and sharing personal responses to selected texts from the Bible or other sources. Diverse responses to the text provide new insights and help us grow in our spiritual lives and set intentions for our days. New people are always welcome!

Lectio Divina meets on Zoom Tuesdays 7-8 a.m., Wednesdays 9-10 a.m., and Thursdays 8-9 a.m.

Currently, all Lectio gatherings meet online, no registration is necessary! Sign up below the calendar of readings if you would like to receive a welcome email with the Zoom link and information.
