AWANA

Get ready for the return of our Awana program this fall!

Approved workmen are not ashamed – Awana

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

Awana’s goal is to reach out to children, teenagers, and their families with the gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him. To learn about the prayer, vision, mission and values of Awana visit www.awana.org.

Club Schedule

An Awana meeting consists of four (4) main parts.

  • Opening Time: Clubs begin on the Game Square at 6:00pm with Opening Ceremonies.
  • Large Group Time: During large group time your clubbers will receive a Bible lesson or take part in an activity that enforces the theme and/or message of the night. The goal of large group time is to create a safe atmosphere where clubbers can be motivated to “make decisions for Christ or strengthen their spiritual walk.”
  • Small Group Time: During small group time clubbers recite the memory verses that they have been practicing at home. It is important that your child understand the verse as well as be able to recite it. Your child is required to recite the verse AND the reference. When the leader is satisfied that the clubber has covered the handbook material adequately, they will sign the handbook for awards.
  • Game Time: Game time offers clubbers the opportunity to participate as team members in physical and mental activities. This helps develop team spirit, good sportsmanship, coordination skills and self confidence. Although games are competitive in nature and winning is desirable, leaders are encouraged to give top priority to building and preserving each clubbers’ self esteem. To maintain the safety of our clubbers, children not wearing appropriate clothing and athletic shoes will not be allowed to participate in games.

Parent Involvement & Volunteers

Though club night will be very exciting for the kids, we recognize that most of the spiritual instruction is going to happen as parents help their kids memorize the verses at home and explain the meaning of each verse.
