Readings for Second Sunday of Advent

This Sunday, having considered Moses, we will take a look at Samuel who, like Moses and Jesus, was raised by people other than his parents. We are going to focus on the fact that Samuel had been set apart from infancy for service to God. We are going to consider the extent to which this expectation applies to the children in the church and what it might mean for us to wean them, as Hannah did Samuel.
