A true “come as you are!” If you’re coming back from a weekend at the beach or from work in the garden, wear your swimsuit and coverup or garden clothes! Music will be very simple and easy to sing.

This worship service will follow the Lecto Divina style:  rather than a formal sermon, there will be a reading of the scripture, a silent time to contemplate the reading, a second reading of the scripture, then a brief discussion of what God is telling you through that reading. The service will conclude with Holy Eucharist.

Children are invited to attend the service.
There will not be childcare.

“In Lecto Divina, the idea is to read a short passage of scripture and let a word or phrase catch your attention. Lecto Divina is not scripture study. It is a form of prayerful meditation where you literally try to let go and let God lead you to something. The hard part for somebody like me is to not analyze the passage, but to let it flow over me, to float on God’s Word and to be still and listen.

I once read that a passage of scripture you read in Lecto Divina can be likened to being in a dark room. There are many doors in this room, but God wants you to walk through a particular one at this particular moment in your life. So, how do you find your door? As you read the words from scripture, it is like following your way along the walls of this dark room, feeling for the edges of the door. When your attention becomes focused on a word or phrase, you have found your door. Now, you have to find the doorknob. Slowly, or quickly, depending on how God wants to gift you, you dwell on your word or phrase and the doorknob is discovered. It may take deeper
probing and letting go, but eventually the door will open, and you step through to something meant for you to learn.

(Note: Not every session of Lecto Divina will yield results. You have to let go and trust God that on some days, He will feed you the sweet fruit of consolation. It is up to God, not you. Don’t force anything. Persevere.)”
