Engaging the Bible
For most of us, reading the Bible is like reading a foreign language: hard to understand, hard to figure out what it means, even harder to decipher what God might be saying to us today through the Bible.
This class will help you learn how to understand the Bible and equip you to engage the Bible from your heart. It will help you open yourself up to the rich, meaningful wisdom that is available in this diverse collection of books, and to the powerful ways that it can impact your life by the power of the Spirit.
Learn to read scripture slowly and prayerfully, using an ancient practice called lectio divina (“sacred reading”). Be inspired to develop a regular Bible reading and reflection practice at home.
Whether you’ve been reading the Bible for 40 years or never cracked its cover, this practice is for everyone!
Prayer & Meditation Boot Camp
For those new to prayer and working toward developing a consistent personal prayer practice, try Prayer & Meditation Boot Camp.
For those of you who are looking for more tools to help you live in this world from a place of wholeheartedness, love, justice, and peace… please join us. The class is open to all. Please share with your friends – all welcome, whether connected to Hilliard UMC or not! The teachings are rooted in the Christian contemplative tradition but applicable to everyone.
