Today in our liturgy, we have talked about the story of Noah. In this
story, in the book of Genesis, Chapter 6 in our Bible,
the Israelites picture that God was sad and angry that the people God
had made had become unkind and nasty.
The Israelites worried that the world seemed to be full of bad things
and people, so they thought that every so often, God would want to choose
someone good to start life on the earth again.
We
made giraffes and lions to remind us that in the story, God told Noah
to take pairs of all living creatures on to the Ark, before the great
flood came.
