Awards for AWANA

AWANA AWARDS NIGHT!


Silly AWANA BUDDIES!
Faithful Directors!
Truth n Training.. 3-6th graders.....girls & boys
Cubbie Power!
Jordi and Abbie both completed 3 books in 3 years with Cubbies!
Yeah Girls!.. aren't they cute?






AWANA is a youth program at church.. it stands for:
Approved 
Workman 
Are 
Not 
Ashamed
Cami and Jordyn have been involved in Awana since 
they were both 3 in the Cubbies Program.  
They learn & memorize verses, sing worship songs, play games and have fun with church friends and other friends not from our church.
Sometimes, it's feels like a chore to go to yet another thing in the week.. but then I remember how important is for me to have my own daily devotional time. This is what a great way to set the example & help them establish their own personal time with God! For us to give them the opportunity to give one night a week outside the home to God, not just for church on Sunday & family worship, but for youth group with friends too.
We do it for other things:
 soccer
dance 
tennis
swimming 
taco tuesday
 beach night
cherry on top
 and 
family dinners
and so many other things....
 so of course we need to make this a priority in our week!
 In our family, this is a pre-jr high youth group...once they get to junior high if they would like to continue in addition to jr high youth group they can.
Great Job Girls...
