AWANA
"Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed"      2 Timothy 2:15

Our program is every Wednesday evening during the school year.  We start at 6:00 pm in the sanctuary and we will end at 7:50 pm.  We have classes for children ages 4 yrs old up to 6th grade.  

Awana has 3 basic parts to it Game Time, Large Group Time and Handbook Time.

Game Time will be held in our gym.  We play all kinds of organized games with the children and give them a chance to "run out their energy" after their day at school.  

Large Group Time is the most important time of the evening.  During this special time we have a speaker talk to the children about the Bible and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  

Handbook Time is a time for the children to learn their sections and earn Awana bucks.  We have different books for different age groups.  All the children will receive a handbook filled with Bible verses to memorize and activities to accomplish.  Our handbooks we work out of are the New International Version Bible.  With the completion of each section in their handbook, each Bible verse memorized each child earns Awana bucks to spend at our Awana General Store.
