This Sunday... I looked in my study this week for the section of my library devoted to texts about women in the Bible, knowing that the scholarship is limited to relatively very few verses, to relatively few women. Hannah is one whose significance is great and whose value to us is not only that she births a great man. Why do we still read this story and how can we read it today to know something of our own experiences and our own possibilities in faith? Her experiences of suffering are familiar in many ways to many people, though her response to them may not be. As we gather for worship, in response to the ways we know we are blessed, we also gather in response to the ways we know we seek support; we tie our very real, human concerns with eternal promises and present help. Join us as we seek together a hopeful and helpful future.
