Current Laments: How Lonely Sits the City
Sep 7, 2025 • Rev. Michael East
Do you ever scroll the headlines or hear the evening news and find yourself crying out, “Why, God?” You’re not alone. Scripture has a word for that cry—it’s called a lament. Far from being weakness, lament is a bold act of faith: daring to bring our deepest grief, anger, and confusion directly to God.
Join us as we dive into the Book of Lamentations—an entire book of the Bible dedicated to faithful sorrow. Together we’ll discover how God’s people have always wrestled with pain, voiced their raw emotions, and yet found hope in God’s steadfast presence.
In a world heavy with loss and uncertainty, we’ll learn what it means to lament well—and how honest prayers of grief can become pathways to healing, solidarity, and even joy.
