The gathering of God's people to engage in the ancient practice of Sacred Reading is a contemplative practice embraced by Visual Faith® Ministry. We host a monthly event called Around the Word, during which we surrender our own voices in order to listen to God through His Word. As we participate in this practice, we never add to God’s Word or expect Him to say something He hasn’t already revealed in His Word. Instead, we allow His Word to move us to give God our full attention. Each month, we simply focus on one passage through reading (multiple times and translations), reflecting, and responding. A monthly resource packet, attached to the Zoom link reminder AND available in the VFM Shoppe, provides materials for a visual-kinesthetic response to time in God’s Word. Although VFM offers monthly opportunities to interact in a group setting, this practice is one in which small groups, families, and individuals can easily engage.
