Title: Jesus Time Part II*: Praying with Sacred Scripture
Presenter: Marie Kelly, Faculty
Talk Description: “In the sacred books, the Father who is in heaven meets his children with great love and speaks to them.” – Dei Verbum 1
Imagine having time set aside in your daily routine where your students can encounter God through His word in a deep and meaningful way, growing their personal relationship with Christ. In “Jesus Time II: Praying with Sacred Scripture” we will address practical strategies for the classroom to help our students foster a personal relationship with Jesus, specifically through the practice of Lectio Divina, a beautiful method for praying with the Scriptures that can help any person from 3 to 103 to better know God through His word.
*Part I is available to Premier members only.

Title: Scribe & Sage: The Catholic School Librarian
Presenter: Erick Allen, ICLE Faculty
