Sample of script:

Prior to Jonah entering the sanctuary, the pastor invites the children to come to the front of the church.

Pastor says: One of the great things about Children’s church is that you get to learn about God and about people in the Bible who have served God. And this morning we have a special treat for you! We have a very special person coming to talk to you in Children’s Church this morning.

Jonah enters sanctuary from side door:

Good morning! My name is Jonah. I’m sure that all of you have heard of me. This morning we are going to go to your Sunday School room and talk about how things were when I lived on earth.

Now can anyone tell me what a whale is? ………… That’s right. A whale is a big, big fish. Many years ago I was actually swallowed by a whale and I lived in the whale’s stomach for some time. What do you think it would be like, being inside a whale? . . . . Do you think you would be frightened? . . . . Well I was very frightened too! What do you do when you are frightened? . . . . .

Well I prayed to God, that He would rescue me.

Now let’s go to your room and we will talk about my experience with the whale. And we will talk about how all of us, young or old, must be ready to do what God expects of us. Also we will talk about how all people need to know about God.

Before we go, though, let’s pray. “Dear God, I thank you for these children and for their interest in learning about You. Bless these children and their families. We pray in Your name. Amen.”

Jonah takes the hand of a couple of the smaller children and leads them down the aisle and out the back doors of the sanctuary.Jonah reads to the children from the Book of Jonah, an account of his experience.Jonah says:
