Rev. Hanson. The Jonah story is read every year as part of Jewish new year ceremonies at Yom Kippur. It is one of the shortest books of the Hebrew Bible, but conveys a couple of wisdom lessons, still valuable today. It is also a pretty amusing tale, likely spun by the 1200 BCE equivalent of Will Rogers, Look it up; it’s a quick read; then I’ll let you in on the humor. We will also celebrate the Year of the Rat, a few days before Chinese New Year. Guest musician Brian Kerns brings our choir a new song for this year, and the children will bring in the Lion and the Dragon. It’s a fun and festive time. Choir & guest musicians will perform.
