Good Grief

“Everybody hurts sometimes” (REM). We all suffer and will suffer loss. Add the ongoing woes of a global pandemic to the ordinary losses of life and no one is a stranger to grief these days. This weekend we land on the 2nd  beatitude from Mathew 5; the one which pairs “good” and “grief” in the same sentence.

“Blessed are the those who mourn, for you shall be comforted in ways you would never dream of.”

If you find yourself fighting back tears of sorrow over personal loss, loneliness, Covid nightmares, alienation, isolation, or you name it, Jesus says, “I have good news for you today—you are going to find comfort and consolation and healing in My Kingdom. Mourners, come on in and I will give you rest and reprieve. My kingdom doors are swung wide open for you”.

Please join us in person or livestream as we combine the comfort and hope of this Beatitude with the Table of the Lord’s suffering (Communion) that brought us our hope. You will leave #blessed.
