This week we'll return to the lectionary (Psalm 27; Genesis 15:1-12,17-18; Philippians 3:17-4:1; Luke 9:28-36) as is our custom for Lent. Our focus will be Psalm 27, a royal song of trouble and triumph, which will help us transition from the hope series we're concluding. The theme of the conversation will be the relationship of hope to grief. Does our grief (and our vision of the wounds of our world) contradict a posture of hope? How can grief become a discipline and practice that catalyzes our hope?
