"GO, GO JONAH"

 

“GO, GO JONAH!” A GREAT SUCCESS! 

The children’s choir shared the story of Jonah through song and drama during all three Worship services on April 26th & 27th.  The children did such a wonderful job presenting the musical!  They should all be very proud of their ability to share the message of God’s great love for us with others.

Special thanks go to all of the volunteers who helped with the children, music, props, sound, and pictures.

Parents:  DVD’s of the 11:00 a.m. Worship service are available in the church office!
