Time to turn your activity areas into a space station!

This is a space themed club, set on the moons of Jupiter, where the Galactic Organisation Department - the G.O.D. - is responsible for providing life support for everybody who lives there.

Arnold Arthur Adams lives on Io, and one day he is sent a letter telling him that the G.O.D. want to train him to go on a mission for them. He doesn't have to go, but they provide for his every need - food, water, oxygen, supplies and transport. He'd feel really bad if he didn't give something back to them.

Arthur and his fellow cadets are taken on a training flight in a space ship where they learn to accept help and overcome fear in order to pilot the ship properly. Later, having completed their training, they return to the ship to take an assessment. They have all specialised in different roles, all necessary to run the ship, and when the officer flying with them is knocked out and they receive a distress call from the surface of Io, they must make a decision: take a risk with their inexperience and go down to rescue the people, or play it safe and return to base, leaving the people on Io to die.

Each day the story provides a clear analogy with our life with God as part of His creation.

The children's books contain vibrant comic strips (right), 'Did you know?' pages, questions and activity ideas.

The main verse for the week is Psalm 19 v1, 'The Heavens declare the Glory of God; the skies proclaim his handiwork.' Additional verses are given in the leader books and in the Children's activity books, to enable further study and discussion.

A treat for science-fiction fans, but with a strong message about doing the right thing for God and recognising the beauty and wonder of His creation.

Full instructions are given for turning your premises into a space-base and your club leaders into G.O.D. Officers.

Choose from a range of suggested activities, photocopy sheets to help with team games and stand by for blast-off with the G.O.D. Adventure song!

Look in the shop for G.O.D. materials: Leader books, Activity books, CDs, t-shirt transfers, patch badges and other useful extras.
