Look forward to seeing you there!

For our Lent sermon series, there is a bit of homework.

The best would be to find someone you trust for a conversation. It might also be great to reflect on these questions or write down a few thoughts (journal) as you reflect on the questions.

Homework for 2/26 (last week): Welcome to Lent/Introduction

Every single person. Find someone you trust and talk to them about: 

1.   Name one thing you are grieving. If you are grieving multiple things, it might be helpful to make a list. (Naming is very powerful. Writing these things down so that you can see them might help.)

2.  What do you need? (Hard question; might be THE question.)

Homework for 3/5 (this week): The Feelings of Grief  

Every person here. Sometime during this week, find someone you trust to talk to about the following questions.  

1.   Describe a time when you responded well to someone going through difficult feelings. How did you respond? Or a time when you wish you would have responded in a different way… how might you have responded differently?

2. What advice would you give someone who is going through a time of sadness, loss, and grief?
