“THE STORY OF JONAH,” A YOUTH
PRODUCTION
(Temple
Hills, Maryland) The Fine Arts Ministry
of Evangel Assembly, located at 5900 Old Branch Avenue in Temple Hills, Maryland,
presents “The Story of Jonah” on Saturday, August 2, 2014 at
3:00
p.m.
This
production, which has a cast ranging in age from five years to adult, offers a
contemporary twist on the biblical character of Jonah and the Ninevites. This fun-filled production also includes an exhilarating mix of memorable sea-themed
songs, colorful presentations and more.
In this story of
God's loving concern for the people of Nineveh, the great menace to Israel, is
representative of the Gentiles. Correspondingly, stubbornly reluctant Jonah
represents Israel's jealousy of her favored relationship with God and her
unwillingness to share the Lord's compassion with the nations. The
production reveals God’s commission to Jonah, his flight from his commission,
punishment, deliverance and rebuke all from a youth’s perspective. The production is a modern day depiction of God's purpose
for Israel, His desire that she might rediscover the truth of his concern for all
creation and that she might better understand her own role in carrying out that
concern.
