New Bible Reading Group at St. James

Are you longing for a deeper way to engage scripture? Or reading our sacred texts in community with others?  Would you like to read, reflect, and explore the weekly Bible readings beyond church on Sunday? 

You are invited to join in a lay Bible reading group where we will read together the lectionary Bible passages for the previous Sunday. This practice can deeply enrich the Sunday worship experience as well as provide a framework for reflecting in community and continuing conversations about the weekly readings. Rather than hearing the lectionary readings for the only time each Sunday, we will gather for a communal reflection process, which is a powerful way of growing in our faith and our Episcopal tradition together. 

The vision is to gather a group of us where we will read each lectionary passage several times – and listen for what speaks to us – an ancient practice called lectio divina, and discuss how we understand the readings to impact our lives, world, and faith.
