Real men…

You finish the phrase.  Go ahead: Fill in the blank and see what you come up with.  Chances are, at some point, somewhere, from someone you’ve adopted descriptors that have shaped your perception of what constitutes manhood.  Whatever we fill in the blank may do well to characterize, but fail to capture the essence of what it means to be a man.  

On this day set aside to celebrate the lives of fathers and paternal influences everywhere, join Rev. Jake Steele and CUMC as they delve in to the well-known parable of the prodigal son, wherein a picture is painted of a wayward son and a father who graciously awaits.  It’s a story of us all and a story for us all. Whether you’re celebrating the influence of a father or grieving the lack thereof, may the Lord richly bless you in the hearing and receiving of this word.

Luke 15: 11-32
