This week’s giveaway includes The Gospel According to Jonah: A New Kind of Obedience Leader Kit by J.D. Greear. This small-group study invites group participants into a world fraught with missteps, disobedience, idolatry, and mistaken “identity.” It’s a world most of us would recognize in our own lives. But in the world of Jonah, we also get more than a foreshadowing of Jesus and a God that pursues us relentlessly. Through this study, individual participants can recognize the “Jonah” in themselves and channel this revelation into a greater passion for asking others into the same assurance. Leader Kit includes a small-group Member Book and DVD featuring a promotional video and six 12- to 18-minute teaching videos. Kit also includes leader helps, preaching aids for pastors, and churchwide campaign implementation plans.
Also included is the black, genuine leather version of the HCSB Study Bible. This Bible has a retail price of $79.99 and features 15,000 study notes, 290 Hebrew and Greek word studies, 66 highly detailed book introductions, 62 maps, 27 topical articles, 20 charts, and 18 illustrations, all focusing on the most important topics and questions in Bible study.

My family has been in the US for many generations, but if I go back far enough I have ancestors from Scotland, Ireland, England, and some Cherokee. My wife’s ancestry is much more interesting; her ancestors are Dutch and German, but some of her German ancestors were Volga Germans who lived in Russia for a few generations before coming to the US (through Ellis Island) about 100 years ago.

Both my wife and I have French Huguenot ancestry.

Although our last name sounds Italian, we’ve come to find out our ancestors were from France. But I think there was a mistake made, I still tell people we’re Italian.
Ireland and a mix of other countries that I’m not sure about.
German with just a touch of Welsh
England but before that, the garden of Eden

Although I am unsure of all the branches of the family tree, I do have ancestors from Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
Since Saint Patrick’s Day falls on this Sunday, I will be wearing orange since Southern Baptists are Protestants and Irish Protestants are associated with orange while Irish Catholics are associated with green. Or so I understand.
It would be interesting to uncover what denominations parts of the family tree were associated with. The important lesson was that illustrated in the three leaf clover: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
German heritage…
Poland!
American, by way of Ireland and Germany.
Mostly England, but some American Indian too.
Well not sure, but it seems that we all came from Eden and then through Noah. So I’ll say the Middle East and/or Africa.

The only thing I know for sure is German, but i’m sure there’s other stuff mixed in there as well.
My family is traced in a book called “An Irish Stowaway” which goes all the way to my generation and has me and my siblings included. I guess we were illegal immigrants. My ancester dove overboard when he was discovered by the ship captain and ordered to be thrown in the brig. Thank the Lord he could swim ashore in South Carolina.
One of my grandparents was from Italy, and the other three are from England (actually one lines goes back to the Mayflower)

Considering my last name is York, clearly it is English.
My family (Parkers) are from Wales originally. The Lords had “parks” that they had for hunting that were maintained by a group of workers led by the “parker”. Apparently the name stuck!
