November 8th Online Worship
/Greetings ALL! We have attached two things: Our online Worship service; and also our Online Sunday School lesson. Enjoy and Blessings! Our Joyful Noise from Kristina Gaumnitz will be sent soon!
November 8th Worship! Our final hymn today, "God of the Sparrow, God of the Whale," was sung and recorded by the Collins family. Many thanks to all of them for sharing their musical talents with us. Violet, Lucy and Sophie also made drawings inspired by the words of this hymn. They are part of our online service for this morning. All of the verses are included. Please sing along on verses 1 and 6 and listen during verses 2 through 5.
Sunday School....Hello all! Our God Story continues with Jonah! This is a fun story about a prophet who tried to say NO to God.
You need to understand that Ninevah was a place that was very very mean to the people of Israel! For Jonah to go there was dangerous…but even scarier for Jonah was that the people of Ninevah might listen to God, change their ways and God would forgive them. Jonah kinda didn’t want that…he wanted to see Ninevah punished.

Have you ever had to deliver a message you didn’t want to! Did you worry that the people getting the message would be mad?
What do you think it was like in the Belly of the Fish??? Imagine how it would feel…smell…talk about that with your folks…
It may not have been fun for the fish either…the Bible says the fish “threw up” Jonah on the shore. YUCK! Like I said…it is a FUN story. But Jonah got the message…and off to Ninevah he went.
