After kids share their thoughts, thank them. Then give each child one paper towel and encourage them to, one at a time, scoot forward and dip one foot into the bowl. Expect wide eyes. Ask them to place their wet feet on their paper towels, but not to dry their feet.

Say: The water in the sea was cold and dangerous. If the ship sank, even sailors who could swim would die from the cold. No wonder the sailors threw whatever they could overboard to stay afloat! And finally, this happened …

Read aloud Jonah 1:15–17.

This is a familiar event to many kids. Ask if they know how the story ends. If so, ask them to share with the group what happened. Be sure that these key points are brought out: Jonah was vomited up onto the beach and then went where God had told him to go in the first place.

Thank kids for sharing. Say: Jonah discovered that he couldn’t hide from God, and neither can we. But what do you think?

• Does the idea that God can see you no matter where you are make you feel good … or not?

• Why do you think God cares what we do or where we go?

• If God knows we’re doing something bad, why doesn’t he stop us?
