As we worship, we meet Hannah, a woman of deep faith and expectation who lives with the pain of an unrealized prayer. Through the various responses Hannah receives from those around her - provoking, placating, and misjudging - we are invited to reflect on how we react to the pain of others. Specifically, how our reactions can be helpful and harmful to our friends and neighbors.
Sermon on 1 Samuel 1:1-19, delivered by the Reverend Joshua H. Narcisse on October 13, 2024.
