Adventuring Pilgrims Meet Jonah and the Whale






They've already heard the first part of the story: about God's command to Jonah that he go and preach to the people of Nineveh, about how Jonah was so afraid that he tried to hide from God.

Now Liddy tells the story of the terrible storm at sea and Jonah's asking to be tossed overboard so that God's anger with him would not cost the lives of the sailers

Liddy tells the story as the children listen

Being swallowed by the whale!

Liddy is the first to crawl through the whale's mouth
Children entering the whale   Children entering the whale

Is that a satisfied look on the whale's face!

The face of the whale

Inside the whale, with only a flashlight to see by, it is at first kind of scary, but soon the children are ready to hear the rest of Jonah's tale.

Children a little uncertain about this dark place Children a little uncertain about this dark place It's not so scary after all with all eyes on Liddy



God is still speaking logo   – through you and me!
