Dynamic fun for children, teens and adults alike!
For More information visit the AWANA website. Young people hold a special place in Jesus’ heart. He created them. He sacrificed His life for their sins. He longs for them to know, love and serve Him. He desires to spend eternity with them. His kingdom belongs to such as these. That’s why kids matter so deeply to Awana. As a worldwide ministry, we believe that Jesus is the answer to every child’s needs, particularly for salvation. Awana programs and materials have been carefully crafted to help churches clearly and consistently communicate the good news of Christ and His plan for their lives, as expressed in His Word, each week of the Awana year, and to build a biblical foundation that helps them follow Christ through adulthood. Join us at Awana! Our Awana club is held Friday night, from 6:15 PM to 8:00 PM. All children ages 3-18 are welcome. Our Awana club consists of three parts: Handbook Time, Game Time, and Counsel Time. Handbook Time : Clubbers learn, memorize and recite Bible verses from their Awana handbook. Clubbers earn points for memorizing verses, and regular attandence. These points can be 'spent' in the Awana store to purchace a great variety of items. Game Time : Clubbers play fun games; most involve running around the Awana circle. Teamwork and sportsmanship are taught and encouraged. Counsel Time : Clubbers listen to a Bible based lesson, geared to their age group.
