HOPE IN A THOUSAND STORMS

Objectives:

1.       To stand in solidarity with those who are suffering from mental and emotional struggles by our presence through songs, Scripture, and stories, where laments and tears are given space, not to be endured alone, but to be witnessed and to receive the hope of being accompanied

2.       To confess areas where the church has fallen short, and examine our own biases related to mental health issues, such as,
a.       Mental health issue is something one can snap out of on one’s own
b.       Mental health issue is due to a person’s lack of faith and sin

3.       To bring comfort and offer a space of lament and prayer for those going through mental and emotional struggles, including their caregivers, through songs, Scripture, and curated stories related to mental health issues

Reflection Questions - During and Post-Service on 10.10
You can download the service booklet here. https://wesley.sg/HOPE-servicebooklet
1. Meditate on Psalm 13. What have you been wrestling with lately? What are you waiting upon God for? Bring your lament before God.
2. Meditate on Psalm 139. There is no where we can flee from God, including darkness. God is with us even in the deepest darkness when we feel hopeless. Would you rest in God's presence as you await God to make all things new?
3. Which songs, prayers, or story in the service spoke to you? Is there a particular phrase that resonated with you? How so?
Would you be keen to attend such a service again in the future?
