The Song of Hannah

THIS SUNDAY MOTHER’S DAY
Nancy preaching, “THE SONG OF HANNAH”
*
Even as Nancy is getting ready for Mother’s Day, I’m excited about “#42: The Faith Of Jackie Robinson.” I’ll be incorporating material from a Robinson biography I read a couple of years ago; I’d forgotten how compelling the material is, particularly regarding the faith Robinson received from his mother through the Black Church experience and the guiding hand of a young pastor named Karl Downs.

I know the St. Andrew’s web site (www.standrewsomaha.net) gets quite a bit of traffic. How come, then, when I plug OMAHA UNITED METHODIST CHURCHES into my search engine, we show up so far down the list? I thought “hits” had something to do with it. Any ideas?

Isaiah 42:1-4, "Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations. He will not cry or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street; a bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice. He will not grow faint or be crushed until he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his teaching."
