Daniel in the Lions Den

18/5/2020

On Saturday evening, 16 May, an enthusiastic group of junior church families logged onto zoom to join a special children’s service based on Daniel in the Lion’s Den. Our children’s worker, Maureen, led us through the story then taught everyone how to make a really simple and fun lion mask. If you want to watch the story or make a lion puppet watch these two YouTube videos

Maureen tells the story:

Making a lion puppet:

Many children responded in amazingly creative ways to the story of Daniel and the Lions. Here’s a couple of beautiful examples!

Ayla explained how the story of Daniel still rings true today- and how we need to have faith even when times are tough. Jeremy led us in song, mixing some old favourites with a great new song based on the story. We finished up with a loud “Amen” after some of the children led us in prayer.

This latest instalment of the zoom children’s services was a great hit, and is helping to keep the families involved and engaged in junior church.
