The Thursday evening mixed adult Bible study group will meet again on Thursday, March 11th at 7:30 p.m. to begin a new nine-week study.

Into the Light, Finding Hope Through Prayers of Lament presents a Biblically based approach to facing troubling times.

Please sign up for emails or contact Sarah Mitchell for more information.

“In this nine-lesson study, Lynn Miller revives lament as a proper theological response to the difficult situations of our world. One of the foundational points of the study is that, in scripture, lament usually leads to hope. After crying out to God, the one who laments remembers God. And while that doesn’t fix things in the moment—the injustice, the loss still exists—the lamenter is strengthened to face the world and to hope. And for us as Christians, hope is not just an emotional response or an attitude of pie in the sky. Hope implies movement: both God’s inherent movement toward justice and our movement toward God. Recovering lament may be one of the church’s most timely gifts to the world.”
