Jonah: More Than a Fish Tale
|
Sundays in June 9:00 - 9:50 am Room 218
 You may have heard about Jonah being swallowed by a whale, but what about the rest of the story? The story of Jonah is a long tale that deals with surprisingly contemporary issues: resentments against national enemies, running away from God, revenge and forgiveness, anger at God and God's relentless grace.

Our teacher is the engaging Bruce Miller. He is the artistic director for Virginia Repertory Theatre, a Presbyterian elder, and a seasoned Bible teacher who knows how to bring a story to life. Rosalind Banbury is his sidekick.

This Sunday we will receive our annual Pentecost Offering. This offering provides a way to directly meet the needs of children at risk, youth and young adults.
One half of the offering goes to PCUSA programs that advocate for children and provide leadership development opportunities for youth and young adults. The other half of the offering will be used here at FPC to help send youth and adults on their summer mission trips.
