Learning to Lament: How Singing in a Minor Key Reveals God’s Grace, Hope, and Mercy.

We all need to learn to Lament, especially when we find ourselves in the midst of the deep dark clouds of suffering, pain, loss, and perhaps even despair. There is a deeper mercy to be found when we discover the grace of Lament. Lament is a prayer in pain that leads to trust. Biblical Lament is how Christians grieve. It is also how to help hurting people. Join us as we Learn to Lament for His glory, and ultimately our Joy!

This  mini-retreat is taking place, Saturday January 11th from 8:15am-12:30pm @ the Newburgh Campus. It will be facilitated by Larry Dauer.
