AWANA Ministry
AWANA is taken from II Timothy 2:15,
“Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed”
Wednesdays, September - May
Beginning again September 2010
For children ages 3 to 5 (age 3 before Sept 1, potty trained, and not in Kindergarten). They learn verses as well as have fun playing games and hearing a story that helps them learn about who Jesus is. They have their own schedule and room.
For children grades K-2nd. The handbooks are Hang Glider (K), Hiker (1st) and Climber (2nd). All new Sparkies will start in the Hang Glider book no matter what grade they are in. After completion of the Hang Glider book, 1st and 2nd graders may move up to the next book. Game time, handbook time and council time make up the evening for Sparks.
For children grades 3rd-6th. This is a program in which all the clubbers are in the same series of books. Book One’s theme is Outer Space, with questions about who God is. Book Two’s theme is Underwater, with questions about people around us. Book Three’s theme is Archeology, with questions about what I need to know about God. Book Four’s theme is Outdoors, with questions about the future. We keep the boys and girls separate during handbook time, but for game time and council time, they are together. New clubbers will start in Book One. After completion of Book One, 4th-6th graders may move up to Book Two. Like the Sparks program, T & T has handbook time, game time and council time.
