2020-2021 Presbyterian Women
Horizons Bible Study

INTO THE LIGHT:
Finding Hope Through Prayers of Lament
 
by P. Lynn Miller
In this nine-lesson study, Lynn Miller revives lament as a proper theological response to the difficult situations of our world. One of the foundational points of the study is that, in scripture, lament usually leads to hope. After crying out to God, the one who laments remembers God. And while that doesn’t fix things in the moment—the injustice, the loss still exists—the lamenter is strengthened to face the world and to hope. And for us as Christians, hope is not just an emotional response or an attitude of pie in the sky. Hope implies movement: both God’s inherent movement toward justice and our movement toward God. Recovering lament may be one of the church’s most timely gifts to the world.

 *The Purpose of Presbyterian Women

Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus Christ,
we commit ourselves to:
nurture our faith through prayer and Bible study,
support the mission of the church world wide,
work for justice and peace, build an inclusive,
caring community of women that strengthens
the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and
witnesses to the promise of God's kingdom.

 **What is a Circle?

Where faith is nurtured and growth
takes place through worship,
study, friendship, and outreach

Where women are challenged
to stretch beyond their limits

Where women move beyond the safe
places of life and reach out to others

Where Christian leadership is born,
nurtured, and sent forth into ministry.
