Lament Sunday

On Sunday, March 1st, we are going to practice lamenting together. We will sing songs that reflect our sorrows. We will take time to reflect on what burdens us. We will share in a more somber communion experience. We will have opportunities for prayer with our shepherds and other experiences to help us lament. But we will also hope together. We will remind each other that God is present in our suffering. God is present even while we grieve the loss of loved ones, even as our hearts ache for the pain of those who are dear to us, as we mourn the brokenness in our community, and as we are burdened by a war-torn world. We will process this grief together and share our burdens with God.
