When and Where

On Wednesday evenings in Lent in St Stephen's Church at 7pm

What is Lectio Divina?

Lectio divina is an ancient Christian practice — a gentle, prayerful way of reading Scripture that helps us hear God’s voice through the Bible in fresh and powerful ways.

We’ll be using The Lectio Course, a five‑part series with Pete Greig (24‑7 Prayer), who guides us step by step into this beautiful rhythm of prayer.

Each session includes a short 15‑minute video followed by relaxed group discussion using the course guide. Every episode also features a conversation with a special guest. Watch the Lectio Course trailer: https://www.24-7prayer.com/resource/lectio-course/

There is a book that accompanies the course, How to Hear God by Pete Greig. It is available on Amazon for £12.99 and Eden for £13.31. It is not essential to have this book to do the course.
