Scripture

 Hebrews 11:1

11 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. (NRSVUE)

Devotion

Since Pastor Heather is serving our denomination at General Assembly this week, today's devotion is one of the pre-recorded video Bible Studies the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) offers to all Assembly participants and observers.  The studies circle around this year's theme: From Lament to Hope.

The embedded video below is Rev. Marci Glass of  reflection on Hebrew's 11:1, Lamentations, and Jeremiah on the subject of lament and how allowing ourselves to grieve deeply helps us to begin moving into hope.   Rev. Glass is the pastor and head of staff at Calvary Presbyterian Church, in San Francisco, CA.  If the video will not play for you, you can find a link to it here.
