The Bible story

Jesus asked what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, would not light a candle, sweep the house and seek diligently till she find it. Then she called her friends and her neighbours together, saying, "Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost." Jesus said there is "joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." Read the whole story in Luke 15:8–10 (KJV).

Memory verse: "Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." (Luke 15:10, KJV). It is printed on every level.
