Story Suggestion:
The Book of Jonah
The book of Jonah is a Sunday School favorite. It provides many teaching opportunities about listening to God and obeying Him. Children can easily relate to the story of Jonah “running away” from God, and the consequences. Emphasize God’s mercy in not letting Jonah go, and in preserving his life, rather than the negative aspect of his being swallowed by a whale.
