Sitting with Grief

Good Grief

Grief is uncomfortable. In the face of tragedy, no words are sufficient to salve our pain. Yet in the face of others’ pain, we find ourselves offering platitudes and speaking for God so we can avoid their pain. But Lamentations 1 is a funeral dirge. We hear the woman’s honest, unflinching cries of pain and see the prophet join her, offering nothing but his presence. How can we learn to be honest about pain so we can begin the process of reorientation?

This Sunday, we’re going to be outside, worshiping together.

You can click here to get the song lyrics and scriptures.

And the big question is: Who is the least likely kind of person to follow Jesus?

Someone of a different religion?

Someone who’s super-rich?

Someone powerful?

The truth is: there’s no place too wild for God, no person too wild for the Holy Spirit to captivate. Are we paying attention?

Join us Sunday as we learn to spot the Holy Spirit at work everywhere – especially in the least likely places.
