We continue our Sermon Series on Grief and Loss. This Sunday Pastor Teresa will explore the concept of Anticipatory Grief and the scripture reading comes to us from Revelation 21:1-7.
“I thought faith would say, ‘I’ll take away the pain and discomfort,’ but what it ended up saying was, ‘I’ll sit with you in it.’”
- Brené Brown
“Be a comfort to me, Beloved, for I am in distress; my eyes are dim from weeping,my soul is deep with grief. Still, I trust in You, O Beloved,I repeat, ‘You are my Life.’ My life is in your hands; deliver me from the fears which separate me! Let your face shine on me; hold me in your steadfast love!”
- from Psalm 31 translated by Nan Merrill
in “Praying the Psalms”
