This month we are in the book of Lamentations. After Israel was taken into captivity by the Babylonians, there was a big time of mourning and grief. The book of Lamentations expresses what is going on and the feelings through poetic writing. May it speak to you through reading it.

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week. We had a wonderful time in Germany. It was so good seeing family and connect with friends and supporters after 3 years. In our time we got encouraged by our church and got to encourage them at an information night, shared with a confirmation group, got to go to a theme park with our whole family and got to eat lots of really good German food which was wonderful. We are so thankful for this time. After we got back we started to catch up on things and also had our monthly love your neighbor conversation meetup.

Also ask yourself this week What spoke to you out of Lamentations and in what area did you feel challenged to grow?

God bless you

Markus and Jen
