"Jonah's Druthers" Spring Musical - Sunday, May 1 at 6:00 p.m.
This year's musical is "Jonah's Druthers." Hold onto yer horses and get ready for a true tale from the Good Book like you’ve never heard it before!
Jonah, the prophet of Israel sends and receives telegraphs to and from the Living God on behalf of the people, and all is fine, until the Lord tells him to go to that “dirty, rotten, flea-bitten foreign city called Ninevah” and preach against it! So, wouldn’t ya’ know it, instead of boardin’ the east-bound train to Ninevah, Jonah hops a west-bound stage to Tarshish! When a big storm comes up on the prairie, threatening to blow the stage over, the driver rolls the dice and up comes Jonah’s number as the one who must be angering “the gods.” Jonah confesses that he is running the opposite direction from what Jehovah instructed him, and he is thrown off the stage and lands in a … well (say it with yer best cowboy twang!). No, not a whale … an old, abandoned well, where he languishes for 3 days and 3 nights. And … you know what happens from there! Once again, it all points to Jesus, and the Good News of the gospel.
RAs AND GAs
RAs and GAs are mission based organizations where boys and girls can come and learn about missions around the world. They hear about missionaries and the work that they do, as well as pray for them and learn to tell other people about Jesus.
Both ministries meet on Wednesdays at 6:30p. RAs & GAs is for kids in grades K-6th grade. Cubbies will continue on Wednesdays for ages 3 - Pre-K.
Bible Drill

Parenting Resources
Cornerstones by Brian Dembowczyk 
How can parents teach kids to know God's truth? By asking and answering the right questions.
Through 200 questions and answers, Cornerstones covers such principles as God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, sin, redemption, the church, restoration, and more. The whole family can use the book together, or children can use it on their own. Ask these right questions, and give your children the right answers on how to truly live their lives for God.
A companion parent guide is also available. This guide will help parents pass along the knowledge of God that leads to faith to the next generation.
