Listening Prayer Groups – Contemplative Prayer
“By beginning with the revealed word of God, lectio divina (listening prayer) continues the conversation that God has begun. We first pay attention to his approach to us and focus on our receptivity. Scripture becomes a means for God to feed, heal, and love us. We open ourselves to God’s presence and respond with our hearts.”
Stephen J Binz, Conversing With God in Scripture
Join us as we journey in scripture and prayer on the mystery of “Heaven”.
Listening Prayer Groups are a cornerstone of contemplative community. We gather differently than we do in most groups. We come to encourage one another’s hearts and to have our own soul nourished. Our individual aims are longing for communion with God, thus, like lines converging on one point, we are all, simultaneously drawn into deeper and closer community with eachother.
A Listening prayer group is a small group that meets with the intention of building community around the word of God. During this time together we will listen to God’s word read out loud. We break out into the many restful places in The Layne for individual silence, meditation, and contemplating our relationship with God. To conclude our time together, those who desire to share, are given space to briefly express the gifts that God has given in our silence with him.
Please join us, 7:00 – 9:00pm at The Layne for listening prayer, led by Shelly Morse:
