What is Lectio Divina?
Lectio Divina (Divine Reading) is a traditional Christian practice of prayer and meditation. It is not a typical Bible study but a contemplative approach to reading short passages of sacred text.

Key Features:

  • Involves reading, reflection, and response to Scripture.

  • Encourages seeing the Bible as the living word of God.

  • Helps participants be open to God’s presence in daily life.

Scriptures:
The class will follow the 2025 Lectionary of the United Methodist Church.
