Boys and girls, kindergarten-second grade, are in "Sparks"; girls, third-fifth, "Chflmp"; boys, third-fifth, "Pals". Each separate group is cared for by dedicated leaders who take the time to plan fun and learning experiences for the clubbers. A typical club night will consist of a flag ceremony, opening prayer, singing, games, stories or puppet acts, memorizing God's word, and receiving awards for clubbers' achievements. A special club night might consist of slide movies of nature and animals, the story of creation, an auction, a missionary sharing, or perhaps pie in the face. Regardless of what the night's program is, everyone has a lot of fun getting to know each other and growing as Christians. The goal of AWANA is to reach boys and girls with the gospel of Christ and to train them to serve Him. For more information, call Ken or Barb Schuerr, 385-4808.
