Join us this evening at 5:30 pm ET for an hour of spiritual practices. From 5:30 - 6 pm Lectio Divina invites us to reflect on the wisdom we're gleening from a word or phrase in scripture. At 6 pm we move into a time of shared silence, prefaced by a brief reading and reflection about contemplative prayer. Join us for one or both of these offerings. The scripture (psalm and gospel lesson) we'll use for tonight's Lectio Divina can be found here: https://www.episcopalchurch.org/lectionary/proper-5a/

Facebook Live strikes again-- I've tried 4 times to go live and it lets me set up the video and do all the back end stuff I need to do but doesn't give me the usual "Go Live" button. We'll try again next week!

Join us for Lectio Divina at 5:30 pm ET here on Facebook Live tonight as we listen for a word, phrase or image that is speaking to us. A link to tonight's reading is below. At 6 pm, as is our custom on the last Tuesday of the month, in lieu of a reading to lead into our time of contemplative prayer, we will share prayers for our communities and our world.
