GOD's rich Pattern - A reason for living
by SPCK - Dr Lin Berwick

Monologue: Hannah’s neighbour
by Marjorie Dobson
Monologue: Hannah’s neighbour (We often look at Bible stories through the eyes of the people involved, but what did Hannah’s neighbour think about the things that were happening?) I see the neighbours have gone off to Shiloh to make their sacrifice again. Every year, they go! Nev…
