Bethesda Presbyterian Church

Personal — Passionate — Progressive

Each Saturday, 10-11:30 am : "Listening to Our Lives!"

Scripture Reading & Reflection ... & Refreshment(s)!

 

Where: Church House living room (7611 Clarendon Road -- parking readily available in front of the house & in church parking lot behind the house)

 

  • The Encounter. Meet-&-Greet. Meditative reading of that Sunday's gospel passage used in Worship, utilizing the deeply authentic and ancient practice of lectio divina
  • Text in Context. Briefing by the pastor -- and others, perhaps! -- of the text's original purpose.
  • Word in Our World. Extensive personal sharing. Guiding questions: How do you experience the Spirit speaking in the world, through this passage? How do you experience the Spirit speaking in your life, through this passage?

 

Let us follow where Jesus may be leading us, together!
