Preschool: Jonah and the whale

Glad to be back in Sunday School for this part of the church calendar.  We'll be hearing a few more old testament stories before we start anticipating the birth of Jesus in Advent.  So this week, we met Jonah who tried to hide from God.  God had a message for Jonah and for Ninevah: God loves you; God will be with you, even when you try to run the other way.  


I love the simple yet profound message in these stories.  


We colored Jonahs, ate goldfish, pinned the Jonah on the whale, played hide and seek with Jonah, and build a lego city of Ninevah where Jonah proclaimed: God loves you!
