Friday!

Well, our visit to the Space Academy has come to an end.  But what a story to finish - a man being lowered into a pit with a "snarling carpet".

King Darius the Mede took over the kingdom from Belshazzar.  He promoted Daniel still further.  This should have been good news, but some of Daniel's colleagues were jealous and set a trap for him.  They persuaded the king to pass a law which insisted people should pray only to him.  When Daniel kept on praying to God, they hauled him before the king as a law-breaker.

The king had no choice but to pass sentence on Daniel.  He was thrown into a pit full of hungry lions - lowered into a pit with a "snarling carpet"!  But Darius was sad about this because Daniel was a trusted friend.  So he prayed to Daniel's God, hoping against hope that He might save him.  Daniel prayed too, and God sent an angel to protect him!  When Darius ran to the pit to see if his prayer had been answered, he was overjoyed!

Today, we presented a summary of the whole club to the parents and the children demonstrated how well they had learned the songs, the facts and the stories.  We're all looking forward to next year's club, but in the meantime, don't forget our TEKNA children's work goes on all year.  Details are on our main website here.

If you have any comments about the club, we would love to hear them so we can make next year's club even better!  Click here for a feedback form.
