AWANA Clubs

AWANA is our Wednesday night program for children 3 years old through second grade.  AWANA begins at 6:20 p.m. and ends at 8:00p.m. each Wednesday night.  We have two clubs in our AWANA program.  Cubbies is our club for 3 and 4 year olds that emphasizes parental involvement and Bible memorization.  Sparks is our club for kindergartners through second-graders that emphasizes Bible memorization and Bible-centered activities.

AWANA stands for

Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed

(which comes from 2 Timothy 2:15)

AWANA clubs have four segments:

1.  Opening ceremony--Every club meeting begins with an opening ceremony to officially start the meeting.  The ceremonoy includes welcome, pledges to the American and AWANA flags, singing, announcments, and prayer.

2.  Game time--Game time is a 30 minute segment when clubbers play games on the AWANA game square.  Game time includes four teams(red, blue, green, and yellow), a variety of games to fit the abilities and interests of all clubbers, balanced competition so all clubbers have a chance to win, a point system to encourage effort and increase excitement, and Fun!

3.  Handbook Time--is a 30 minute segment when leaders guide clubbers in their achievments.  Emphasis is placed on helping clubbers achieve in Bible memory and teaching applications.

4. Council Time--is a 20 minute segment featuring announcments, award presentations, testimonies and a Bible message.
