Contemplative Practice in Community @Keystone Online

Could your Spirit use a little restoration & fortification these days, or what?  We have prepared a little offering.  Come however you are!  Lectio divina practice is for connection — personal, spiritual, and collective. The practice will take place on Wednesday August 5, from 6:30-7 p.m.

 “We have all known the long loneliness and we have learned that the only solution is love and that love comes with community.”  ~ Dorothy Day

 Come to ‘rest in God’ as Pastor Lauren & Rita P. lead us through a simple brief practice to reflect on a scripture and offer our Spirits some quiet, in community.

 Come just as you are, Keystone.  Zero prep needed, just bring a Bible (or pull one up on your phone) and carve out a quiet spot, to video or call in.  (Look for the Cheat Sheet with the link on Wed. Aug. 5.)

 We are with one another, in this long haul!  We continue to stay safe & stay home, amidst Covid 19 pandemic.  So try out 20 minutes or so of this nourishing & restorative reflection, called lectio divina.  Connect with other Keystone folks, as we share some quiet. 

 On Wed. Aug. 5 we will use Matthew 14: 22-33, if you want to peek at one of our lectionary texts for Sun. Aug. 9.
