Centering Prayer Group Schedule and Readings
at Grace Church, Brooklyn 2011-2012
Group partipants are welcome to sign up:
- to read or chant a psalm or portion of a psalm;
- to read the Bible passage for the lectio divina. A passage of roughly 10-15 verses works well.
At the time you sign up, you do not need to decide what passage you will read. Email me to let me know which day you will be reading and whether you will be reading a psalm, a lectio divina passage or both. Then at the time of the reading or afterwards let me know the passage so that I can enter it on this page.
