Upcoming Event: Saturday March 21

Ron Nydam of Calvin Seminary will come and present a seminar “Psalms in the Pits of Living”

I.  Understanding the Wounded Heart
In this conversation we will seek a deeper understanding of what happens when the human heart is wounded by the hurts and losses of everyday living. Special attention will be given to the process of grieving and the importance of putting sorrow in words. We will be challenged to develop an emotional vocabulary as a resource for personal growth and  pastoral ministry.

II.  The Healing Power of Lament in a Psalm
The Scriptures offer us  a way to “get over” and “get through” and “get out of”the pits in our lives. We will review the way in which psalms of lament are constructed and how they “work” to bring healing to suffering ans restoration to faith in God. Several psalms of lament will be presented for review.
