The Book of Joshua
Every other Thursday, 9:30 – 11:00 am, in Room 213 at Cross View. Led by Steve Koepcke.
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.
