MIDLAND, TEXAS - An art collection exploring grace and forgiveness is on display at a local church throughout the Lenten season.
First Presbyterian Church of Midland is inviting the public to visit its gallery during its latest exhibit, "The Father and His Two Sons: The Art of Forgiveness." The collection of images, which opened Wednesday and will continue through April 8, features works by various artists depicting the parable of the Prodigal Son from the Gospel of Luke. In the story, the younger of two sons wastes the inheritance given to him, but after repenting and returning home is welcomed with open arms by his father.
"It's our belief that all the various senses help us connect better with our relationship with Christ," said the Rev. Mary Beth Anton, parish associate at First Presbyterian.
