The children went downstairsfor their time of fellowship.The second scripture lesson Luke 15: 1-7, was followed by the singing of the hymn, Tell Me The Stories of Jesus. Rev. Clark’s message to the adults was, Our Family History Includes Us Today. The tax collectors were hated because they charged people unfairly and were thieves. The Pharisees and scribes were upset with Jesus for talking to the sinners. Jesus tells them the parable of the lost sheep and the Prodigal Son. The son takes his inheritance and spends it all. The only job he can find is feeding the hogs for someone. He is very hungry and decides to go home and ask his father for a job. Instead of being angry at his son, the father welcomed him with open arms.This is the same with God, saidRev. Clark. If we do somethingwrong God still loves us and caresfor us.
