Our
AWANA YOUTH CLUB is a chapter of AWANA INTERNATIONAL.
The purpose of our club is to reach boys and girls with the
Gospel of Jesus Christ and to teach them to serve Him. The AWANA program is a structured, well-prepared,
and fun ministry that teaches children the Bible and important
character qualities, such as teamwork, sharing, obedience
to authority, and discipline. Our clubs meet each Wednesday evening from 6:45 to
8:45 P.M. during the school year. The clubs meet in many of our Sunday School
and Christian School class rooms as well as in our large gymnasium
in our FAMILY LIFE CENTER.

The
word "AWANA" is taken from their theme verse, 2
Timothy 2:15, "Study to show thyself approved unto God,
a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." The acronym is Approved Workmen Are Not
Ashamed.
The
AWANA program is well structured and each segment has a purpose. First, there is GAME TIME. Every AWANA meeting kicks off in high
gear, with team and individual competition. Dozens of organized games require everyone's
participation, unleashing natural energy and enthusiasm. Second, there is HANDBOOK TIME. Using achievement-oriented learning segments,
AWANA training emphasizes the importance of God's Word for
sound living. Clubbers progress through graded handbooks,
working individually and together with their leader. Third, there is COUNCIL TIME. This is a general session for everyone. It is a quality time for group Bible study. We often have guest speakers in for our COUNCIL TIMES. The Bible study is followed by awards and recognition
for individual handbook progress and for points scored in
team play.
