Memory Verse

Memory verse

When I was in trouble I called out, and God heard me.

Jonah 2:2

Talk Together

Talk together

  1. Why did Jonah run away, and what did he do inside the fish?
  2. Why do you think God gave Jonah, who ran away, another chance?
  3. When a job God gives me is something I do not want to do, how can I obey?

Prayer

Pray together

God, sometimes there are things I do not want to do, and I want to run away. Just as You gave Jonah another chance, please help me come back to You too. Help me be a child who says "Yes!" and obeys Your word. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Activity

Things to try

  • Draw the big fish and Jonah praying inside its belly.
  • Choose one thing you do not want to do but should, and do it with a "Yes!"
