Journey Center Contemplative Gatherings

Lectio Divina is Latin for “sacred, holy reading”…an ancient spiritual practice that helps us listen to the voice of the Spirit speaking into our lives today. This is a lovely experience of being in God’s presence together in a peaceful, supportive setting.

Here are some comments from those who have participated in Morning Meditations:

"What a nice place for my heart to come and rest!”

"To sit at the feet of Jesus in quietness, soaking in His love before the day gets busy... this helps me stay centered and peaceful the rest of the day."

"I love having a quiet place where I can be refreshed and renewed. I feel totally comfortable being who I am- I can be silent, or join in the group prayer if I want to. There are no expectations or requirements, just a special space in which to encounter God and hear what He is saying to me..."

"I have been experiencing strength and healing I've never known before since I started coming to Morning Meditations."

"I'm not a Christian, but I feel like I belong here in God's presence with others who are spiritually seeking."

"It helps to know that I can come when I can get there, and leave when I need to. Some mornings I stay for an hour, sometimes for 20 minutes, and once I was there for the whole two hours. I feel the Spirit's work in me each time..."

Here are some comments from those who find A Quiet Place helpful to their heart on the journey:

"I come to A Quiet Place because it is the only time in my whole week when I am able to be still and listen to God."

"You can feel God’s presence when you come into the room."

"To meditate each week on the words of Christ has brought a new depth to my spiritual life, and to my understanding of who He is."

"I need a place like this where the focus is entirely on God."

"Right in the middle of my crazy, busy, noisy work week is this oasis... I can deeply connect with God and find refreshment for my soul, on my lunch hour! It’s worth arranging to be gone a little longer on Wednesdays."
