Children's Ministries AWANA
 |
|
AWANA is a structured, well prepared program for girls
and boys ages 3yrs to 6th grade. In AWANA Clubs we hear exciting
stories, study the gospel thru our handbooks, earn awards,
sing, play games, and have fun with special events. Materials
are superbly written, designed to stimulate involvement and
develop eagerness for learning. Young people discover the
importance of being team members, sharing thoughts and becoming
more responsive to authority and learning discipline.
|
Why is it called AWANA?
The acronym comes from the first letters of the phrase: "Approved
Workmen Are Not Ashamed." 2Timothy 2:15
Who leads the clubs?
An AWANA leader is a committed believer who walks with the
Lord, and desires spiritual growth. Leadership opportunities
and training are available if you are interested in fun and
fulfilling ministry with children.
When do the Clubs meet?
Our AWANA Clubs meet every Wednesday night from September
thru May at 6:30 pm-8:15 pm, with the exception of
Cubbies, which ends at 8pm. AWANA will not meet during the
weeks with holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New
Years Day.
How are the Clubs grouped?
The children are placed in clubs by ages and school grades
to provide maximum interest and activity for everyone. Parents
should be aware that class sizes will be limited according
to appropriate student/leader ratio.
