The Prayer of "Listening with the Heart"

Every Monday, Jed Lindholm of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Holden, Massachusetts and Alan Crowley of Good Shepherd in Jericho, Vermont, lead a small group experience of "Lectio Divina," a way of praying that moves from meditative reflection to resting in the presence of God. The prayerful focus is an invitation to listen to and respond to God through God's Word and one another. We believe that God loves us and feeds us through the scriptures, which Martin Luther names "the other manger."
