North Decatur Presbyterian Church

This Sunday, the Lectionary turns to the "historical books" of the Hebrew Scriptures, as they recount the way that the people who escaped slavery in Egypt formed a community and became a nation. We turn to 1 Samuel, where the rise of Israel's kings begins with a woman, Hannah, as she struggles with feelings of emptiness and abandonment. Hannah prays. When we look at Hannah's experience, and her relationship with God, what does it illumine about our own experience? Rev. Lewicki preaches.
