PROGRAM AGENDA

Welcome and Music

Bill Baxter Page has agreed to perform holiday favorites, entertaining us with classics such as Silent Night, Colorado Christmas, Oh Holy Night, and Let it be Christmas – among others! Bill will open the festivities with music and play throughout the evening during breaks in the program. A special “Thank You” goes to Bill for offering to entertain us the entire evening. Bill has recently completed a new album called Today is Mine!

Instructions and sample for Lectio Divina.

Breakout Groups (15 minutes)
We will then have an activity featuring “Lectio Divina” – Lectio Divina is a practice most commonly used for reading “sacred” text. This method has proven to be very enlightening and inspiring when used in study groups. You are sure to enjoy it.

Anyone who wishes to participate may choose a passage at random from Paper 122, The Birth and Infancy of Jesus.

Then they will discuss that passage in three stages:

What is literally happening?
What does this make me think of?
How can I incorporate this into my life?

Music

Breakout Groups (15 minutes) Remember that people can ask to pause and contemplate the passage silently.

Music & Closing
