We avoid pain and grief as much as possible. When faced with someone else’s grief, we avoid or offer platitudes. But the book of Lamentations invites us to sit with grief, to enter into the prophetic process of Lament. In this series, we’ll explore how to grieve and how to be a friend to the grieving.
Ultimately, we’ll see how the process of lament invites us to be agents of healing in the larger world.

Don't Forget to Rejoice!
Ironically, too often in the midst of our preparation to celebrate Christmas, we forget to actually celebrate. The same is true of our work for justice - we burn out or get overwhelmed. The third Sunday of Advent reminds us this work belongs ultimately to God, not us. So we need to take time to pause and rejoice that God is faithful!
From Series: "Raise Your Voice"
Advent is a season of preparation... and proclamation! How can we be a people who stands up for God's peace, justice and love in our world? In this series, we'll draw from Kathy Khang's book, the Old Testament prophets and Mary's journey to Bethlehem.
