Dwelling in the Word

What is Dwelling in the Word?

Dwelling in the Word Schedule

It is: An intentional practice…hopefully, a habit. It involves:

Reflection
Deep listening to one another AND to God’s Word
Patience
Faith…that God will be revealed and the The Holy Spirit will guide us

Dwelling in the Word is a beneficial practice. It immerses us in scripture. It enhances listening skills. It can help deepen our relationship with God, self, and one another. Similar in many ways to Lectio Divina, Dwelling in the Word is one spiritual practice that both feeds our souls and our minds.

How it works:
Begin with prayer
Reflect silently
Find a person you know least well – or a friendly looking stranger (or a strange looking friend!)

Ask that person:

What captured your attention or imagination?
What question might you want to ask a Biblical scholar?
Take 4-5 minutes each. You will report out your partner’s answers and thoughts. This is the deep listening part — try not to express your own thoughts, but, rather, those of your partner.

Reflect as a group:
What might God be up to in this passage for us today?

At this time we will meet via Zoom. Below you will find a the current schedule along with the Zoom links.
