October Workshops: Learning to Lament Gun Violence

It’s the constant story in our newsfeeds: Yet another shooting.  This one at a school, this one at a grocery store, this one at a synagogue.  This one at our own Monroe Park. We’re scared and angry, confused and frustrated, frozen and numb.  But we’re also people of faith.  And as such, we’re called to share these feelings with God—and to call on God to act.  In the month of October, attend a workshop to do just that.  Learn about the ancient, cathartic practice of lament: The act of raising our fears, questions, and even complaints to God in a faithful manner, all while standing firm on God’s promises to bring about a better world.  One without gun violence.  Workshops will be led by The Rev. Deacon R. Dale Smith, a former writing professor.  Zoom and in-person options are available, as well as workshops for middle and high school youth.  Meet others from around Richmond and raise your voices together.  Click here for workshop details and to register.
