This Bible study invites us into the healing work of naming lament, grief, and brokenness. We'll explore the raw poetry of the Psalms, the tears of a weeping Jeremiah, and the ways biblical lament echoes the storytelling, honesty, and artistry of hip-hop. Come ready to reflect, wrestle, and even create some bars of your own! The October and November sessions will be held at Bessie Coleman Library, 731 E. 63rd.
