Each Wednesday night during Lent, we will gather for worship at 7 pm, beginning February 25. We will once again ground ourselves in Marty Haugen’s Holden Evening Prayer, while engaging in holy lament.
This series explores various kinds of lament found in scripture. Each week we will consider what it means to sit with our grief rather than try to push it aside. We will discover that many faithful believers have wrestled with grief, sorrow, and questions for God about why the innocent suffer. This series understands lament as one of the more faithful things we can do. When we approach God with honesty and humility, and we admit that some things are too big for our hearts to bear, we will find there not a disapproving God but one who weeps with us. We will find a God who can take our grief and disappointment and transform them into holy joy and renewed hope. We will learn, ultimately, that Jesus’ death on the cross— the place to which the season of Lent leads us—is the reason we never mourn as those without hope. (sundaysandseasons.com) |
