Our goal is to teach your children about the Lord and
His wonderful love for them. Here are
some suggestions to help you and your children accomplish
this goal.
AWANA begins at 6:30 p.m. and ends at 8 p.m. The club
is divided into three half hour segments. Clubbers will
meet outside at the “Sparky” sign and march
into the auditorium for the opening pledges. They will
then go to handbook time in the first and second grade
rooms.
The time there will be spent in saying their sections
that they have memorized. Please help your child memorize
the sections in their handbooks each week. At this time
your children will be given AWANA bucks which may be used
at the end of the month in the AWANA store. Clubbers must
say at least three sections each month to be able to go
to the AWANA store.
AWANA bucks are given as follows:
Dues- 2 bucks per quarter (up to $1.00)
Bible- 1 buck
Handbook and Gate test- 1 buck
Visitors- 3 bucks
Handbook time will be followed by game time around the
AWANA circle. For the safety of your child during game
time we recommend they wear tennis shoes and long pants.
The final half hour of AWANA will be for the Bible story
and presentation of awards. They will receive awards if
they have their uniform and have completed the requirements
for their badges and
jewels. Calvary Baptist will be giving a special award
twice a year for those clubbers who attend
Sunday School faithfully here at Calvary. This is a special
award given this year by our church to
encourage clubbers who do not attend Sunday School regularly.
You may pick up your child at the end of AWANA in the
auditorium. We appreciate the opportunity to minister
to your child this year. If you have any questions or
if there is any way we can be of help to you or your family
please do not hesitate to let us know
FUN! That's how most boys and girls
describe Awana Club meetings. But to parents like you
they're more. Awana meetings are brimming with life-enriching
experiences for young people. They provide consistent
positive teaching every week - training that stresses
strong moral and spiritual values.
Clubbers learn about the reality of
God, the truth of the Bible, and respect for our nation's
freedoms. Awana plants seeds of wisdom while youths
begin the painstaking process of becoming responsible
adults.
Awana exists for parents who appreciate
the value of a wholesome peer group in their children's
lives. It's an organization for those who want their
kids to find peace - true peace -in a world that's literally
filled with violence.
If that's your concern, take a closer
look at Awana. Come and visit us on Thursday evenings,
and it will be evident to you when you see the smiling
and happy faces of all the children.
