Into the Light, Finding Hope Through Prayers of Lament presents a Biblically based approach to facing troubling times, which meets the moment as we face a year of collective grief. You can get a copy of the PW Horizons Bible Study Into the Light if you'd like, but it is not required.

This study is for anyone hoping to deepen his/her/their relationship to God through Bible study, community, and prayer. The group will be led by members on a rotating basis and is open to the community.

“In this nine-lesson study, Lynn Miller revives lament as a proper theological response to the difficult situations of our world. One of the foundational points of the study is that, in scripture, lament usually leads to hope. After crying out to God, the one who laments remembers God. And while that doesn’t fix things in the moment—the injustice, the loss still exists—the lamenter is strengthened to face the world and to hope. And for us as Christians, hope is not just an emotional response or an attitude of pie in the sky. Hope implies movement: both God’s inherent movement toward justice and our movement toward God. Recovering lament may be one of the church’s most timely gifts to the world.”
