Learning to Lamentations Bible Study
Based upon Pastor Reed’s new Concordia Publishing House commentary on Lamentations, this study will examine the book from a number of practical standpoints.
- Does God welcome our protests and laments?
- How important is it to find our voice and tell our story of suffering?
- Is there a better way to deal with trauma than numbing the pain with fantasies, escapes, and denials?
- And what do we learn from Jesus and Paul about laments?
Classes start January 4, 2026, and run through February 15, 2026. The class will be meeting each Sunday at 9:30 AM in the Sanctuary. The class will also be streamed.
