"I'm struggling to understand the situation surrounding my father, Lazarus Maponga's, retirement from the Seventh-day Adventist Church. After dedicating over 40 years of service, his monthly retirement package is $7.00.

This has raised questions for me.
Some individuals are encouraging me to return to the church, including my father, but I'm uncertain about what I would be returning to.

 I'm seeking clarity on the following:
Is this treatment of my father just?
Does this align with the values of the God we worship on the Sabbath? Will my father's devotion and service be recognized and rewarded in the afterlife?

As you reflect on your faith during Sabbath school, I encourage you to consider the experiences that have led some individuals, like myself, to feel disconnected from the fellowship.
