The Women’s Scripture group has been active since 1994. There is a morning and an evening session. Each meets once a week to pray and to explore the readings for the upcoming Sunday. Both sessions operate on a come when you can basis. You don’t have to be a parishioner or even a Catholic to attend, however, most of the readings are from the New Testament, so the sessions are for Christian women.
We begin with prayer then silently read the first reading, usually from the Old Testament. Someone then reads it aloud before we share our thoughts about it and reflect on its relevance to our faith journey, our daily life. We do the same with the Second Reading and the Gospel and end with prayer. Missalettes are provided. Obvious benefits of participation are preparation for the Sunday liturgy, a better understanding of the readings and their application to the present, and the deepening of our faith. Close bonds are created as we become a community.
