As We Begin. . . .

Hi Everyone,

As I write, on Oct. 6, our Enrichment Day is still 12 days away. Because we haven't yet met together, I thought I'd tell you a little about our presenter, Mike Potter.

Mike serves Contemplative Outreach Ltd. as the the Leader of the Lectio Divina Service Team on the Resource Faculty. He also serves as the Coordinator of Contemplative Outreach of West Tennessee.

When he's not serving the Centering Prayer community, Mike is an estate planning attorney and certified civil mediator. He lives with his wife, Rosemary in Memphis, TN. They have two grown sons, David and Jeff.

Mike is a member of Trinity United Methodist Church where he chairs the Church Council. He has given many presentations introducing Centering Prayer and Lectio Divina. We are delighted he could spend a day with us, with the Word of God.

For those who might be unfamiliar with Lectio Divina, it is a way of praying with Scripture.

In Lectio Divina, we listen to the texts of Scripture as if in conversation with Christ, with Christ suggesting the topics of conversation. A daily enocunter with Christ and reflection on his word leads beyond mere acquaintanceship to friendship, trust, and love.

The day of Lectio promises to be prayerful and Spirit filled. See you October 18.
