As you may have noticed school supplies are now out at Walmart, which
can only mean that school is just around the corner. Our Awana program
at Immanuel is also gearing up for a new year. We are all excited and
ready to spread the good news about Jesus. Awana will start on
August 21, 2011 at 5:45 PM on Sunday evenings. We would like to
welcome you to Awana, and if you have any questions please contact
Dottie Allen (Awana Commander).
AWANA stands for "Approved Workman Are Not Ashamed" and
comes from the Bible verse, 2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present
yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.
 Cubbies:
Lots of fun and an introduction to God's Word for preschoolers, Cubbies
encourages these little ones to begin to make scripture a part of their
lives through parent-child activities. Children can complete two handbooks
while in Cubbies one year.
 Sparks:
Friendship building and the gospel message for K-2nd graders, Sparks
teaches children about Jesus through games and introduces small
peer-group interaction. Children can complete three handbooks while
in Sparks one year.
 T & T
Evangelism and discipleship for 3rd - 6th graders, T & T leads children
into a deeper relationship with God and teaches them to reach out to
others through mission projects. Children can complete three handbooks
while in T.N.T. one per year.
Learning and growing with AWANA:
Awana clubs teach the gospel of Christ to children from K - 6th grade
Throughout the program, children are rewarded for memorizing Bible
verses and completing character building activities. Younger children
learn through games, crafts and puppets ... wonderful learning tools
for this age. As they grow, children are introduced to small group
interaction, community outreach, apologetics and life application of
the gospel.
Awana clubs typically meet weekly. Sessions are run by individuals
with a passion for sharing their faith with children. Each Awana club is a
ministry of the church which sponsors it and follows the Awana
approved curriculum. Uniforms are available and the younger children
wear vest on which they display their church club registration
number and awards earned.
Awanas offers fun, friendship and serious Christian teaching that supports
the teaching children are receiving at home and at church. Living their
faith can be difficult for children, especially as they grow. Awanas provides
a comfortable place to learn and grow along with peers who share their
faith. Awanas also reaches out to unchurched youth, providing them with
an enjoyable and comfortable introduction to Jesus. Awanas is an excellent
choice for parents who would like their children to learn Christian values
while participating in a club.
“And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul." Deuteronomy 10:12
