Thy Will Be Done
from Yes! We're Open: Living Faith with Needham UCC · host The Congregational Church of Needham
Jonah is maybe the most well-known least-understood book in the Bible. No, God didn't send the whale to swallow Jonah in order to punish him (you're thinking of Pinocchio) but to save him. But even Jonah misunderstood his own mission. When the people of Nineveh changed their wicked ways in response to his preaching, Jonah got upset that God hadn't punished them. Are we really ready for God's graceful ways? Whose will do we really want done? (Jonah 3-4)The Congregational Church of Needham strives to be a radically inclusive, justice-seeking Christian community. We are a member congregation of the United Church of Christ denominational family. Join us for worship Sundays @ 10am LIVE! online via Zoom. Connection info at www.NeedhamUCC.org.
