Amen.
Rest eternal grant him, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.

SUNDAY SCHOOL THIS WEEK
Elijah: Tight With God
|
|
Elijah is fleeing from King Ahab’s wife Jezebel because he has just had Ahab’s prophets of Baal killed, and she is furious. Very afraid, Elijah goes into the wilderness and pleads to God for his life to end. But an angel comes to care for him, and he goes into a cave on Mount Horeb (also known as Mount Sinai).
God then tells Elijah to stand on the mountain and wait for the Lord to pass by. There comes a fierce wind, an earthquake, and a fire, but the Lord was not in any of these powerful things. Then comes “a sound of sheer silence,” and Elijah knows that he is facing God. God speaks to Elijah out of this silence.
When Elijah comes down from the mountain, he meets Elisha, who begs to follow him. Elisha then becomes Elijah’s follower, servant and friend (1 Kings 19:21).
