Homecoming: Wherever is Your Heart (1 Samuel 1)

This is the story about a nation told through a family—upheaval, change, transformation—all held in the hope of a tiny little baby and big, big devotion. What does Hannah’s story with all of its complexity tell us about returning? Does it mean we get everything we want? Or does it point us to the gospel: that one day God will get everything God wants? Our worship series for this fall is called Homecoming: Stories of Return. We’re looking at all sorts of stories of return in Scripture: parables, history, Jesus stories, church stories, and poetry. What does it mean to return home? We’ll be looking at how complicated returning home can be when home is no longer what we remembered or perhaps not even there anymore. We’ll be imagining home as a place we make rather than a place we travel to, and we’ll be discovering that returning is a group endeavor. This series will culminate with the dedication of our repaired building, our own return. Find us on social media: Facebook and Instagram.
