Barrington United Methodist Church recently issued the following announcement.
Every Wednesday
Date and Time: 03/09/2022 to 04/06/2022, 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Led by Pastor Chris, this study of the Prodigal Son considers what the parable would have meant and how it would have challenged the assumptions of the first listeners who heard Jesus tell it.
What was expected of the Younger Son, the Father and the Elder Brother? How did the characters in the story confirm or shatter those expectations? What about the role of unseen characters like the Mother, the Hired Hands and the Neighbors? Finally, what can we learn about ourselves and our own assumptions about shame and honor, grace and forgiveness?
