AWANA’s
Key Verse:
Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed
(2 Timothy 2:15)
AWANA’s
Mission:
To reach boys and girls with the gospel of Christ and train them
to serve Him.
What is AWANA?
FUN!
A kids’ ministry without fun is a ministry without kids.
That’s why Awana takes fun “seriously.” Our club meetings are so
exciting that kids can’t wait to come back for more!
But fun is only the start. While kids are having a blast, they’re
learning and growing, too. They participate in games and activities
that train their bodies. They learn verses and spiritual truths that
expand their minds. They encounter life lessons that feed their
souls. With caring, trained leaders investing time, love and wisdom
into shaping children’s lives, parents quickly discover that Awana
is a fun approach to a serious calling.
LEARNING!
Awana teaches children that God is real, He loves them and He
has expressed that love through His Son, Jesus Christ. Kids can also
learn how God can help them in their daily lives. Bible-based
lessons teach them how to obey God in a complex world.
The goal of Awana is to give boys and girls the chance to know, love
and serve God. While it’s a serious mission, we believe having fun
the process is a great tool for reaching young people. Since 1950,
churches have used Awana to extend God’s love to kids. It is a
proven way for churches to impact their communities and train
children for leadership.
ADVENTURE!
Three segments provide start-to-finish excitement in every club
meeting.
Game Time:
Team competition takes place in our unique circle
games and during other playground favorites. The Awana gave circle
provides maximum opportunity for children to get involved, no matter
their athletic ability. They unleash their energy while learning
teamwork, sportsmanship and other character traits through their
participation.
Handbook Time:
Kids work one on one with a trained leader to
finish assignments in their curriculum materials. Awana emphasizes
memorizing and understanding key Bible verses that teach children
how to know and follow God. A series of awards and trophies reward
their achievements at every level.
Council Time:
Kids and leaders gather together for
singing, announcements, awards presentations and, most importantly,
a practical Bible message.
AWANA Calendar for 2008:
AWANA will resume its monthly schedule in
September 2008.
