Join us Sundays at 10:15 am in November

Join us for this special class taught by The Rev. Merrie Need which will meet online every Sunday in November at 10:15 am via Zoom. 

This month will feature a study on the opening chapters of the Book of Samuel. We will discuss how the book may have been assembled and edited. We will introduce Samuel's many roles within the book: The last of the judges, the first of the prophets, high priest, and kingmaker. We will also examine him as a reluctant agent of change who helped move Israel from a collection of tribes to a unified nation under a monarchy.

On November 1, we will begin with the story of Hannah whose "womb was closed" until she prayed for a child while worshipping at the tabernacle at the Shiloh, promising to consecrate the child to God. We will introduce Eli, the high priest and his disreputable sons, and, time permitting, learn how Hannah fulfilled her promise by giving her young child into Eli's care to be trained as a priest.

Join us after the 9 am Zoom worship service and coffee hour.
