[Surfers] Daniel In The Lion's Den

This morning in Surfers we looked at the story of Daniel getting chucked in the lion's den, because he thought that God was the most important thing in the world. He wanted to keep on praying, despite the pressure to ignore God like many of the people around him - and the very real threat to him.

In your Grid magazine, page 6 has a quiz to think about what things you think are important. Page 7 has a retelling of the story from Daniel's POV and a survey of the top five fears (strangely, being thrown in a lion's den isn't one of them).

Its Your Move 2008

Each year, Scripture Union run a 4 day camp in August for children going up to secondary school. Its organised by our schools worker, Andrea and I've helped out at the last two (and I'm helping to lead this one).

For those of you currently in Year 6, would you be interested in going?

Its from 18th-21st August at the Oakwood Youth Challenge activity centre in Wokingham.

Details are here:

(but please note - despite the photo - there isn't a swimming pool)

I am intending to have all camps and activities next year paid out of central funds (mostly covered by grants I hope), so there is nothing to pay. If you are interested and you are fairly certain that you are available, please let me know as soon as possible.

Please note: The camp filled up very quickly last year, so please let me know ASAP if they can come.
