AWANA
In our culture today, kids can find all
sorts of stuff with which to fill their
heads and hearts. At the center of AWANA is
the Bible. We believe the Bible is the
inerrant, infallible Word of God with power
to change lives. With CUBBIES for Pre-K & K,
SPARKS for 1-6 grades, and TREK for Junior
High, our Wednesday night program includes
kids from Pre-K to 8th grades.
(Other activities cover the rest of the
family!)
The president of
Awana International, Jack Eggar, told
CDR Radio that it commissioned a survey of
adults who had spent at least 6 years in
AWANA when they were growing up. "[W]e found
that over 90-plus percent of these kids [now
adults] remained faithful to the things of
God or faithful in church, and are still
active in their faith -- even sharing Christ
with others," Eggar shares. "If anybody out
there...knows anything about Awana, you know
that kids learn the scriptures," he
explains. "They not only learn what the
scriptures are saying, but they also
memorize them. 'Thy Word have I hid in my
heart that I might not sin against thee.'"
You are welcome anytime to come and observe
the AWANA program in action!
Trek:
Trek is a Wednesday night ministry for the 7th
and 8th grade boys and girls.
Our focus is to teach the Word of God at
their level in preparing them to make the
next step to the Youth Group. We have a time
of games, a time of going over what they’ve
learned that week in memorizing verses, as
well as a time of teaching and interacting
in God’s Word. Outside of the Wednesday
night ministry we schedule extra fun
activities for all to join in such as ice
skating, bowling, fall festivals, etc.
