AWANA – March 2010

During the winter months Awana clubbers have been busy learning God’s Word. There are even reports of some completing their handbook already (especially in the Sparks and T&T Clubs). We have been enjoying our time playing together and learning God’s Word on Wednesday evenings.

On January 9, we held the annual Winter Picnic in the FLC parking lot. There were good-sized snow piles to play on, gallons of hot chocolate to sip and a warm fire to roast marshmallows and cook hot dogs! The weather was just right for a “winter” picnic with temperatures in the high 20’s

February 6 our Truth and Training clubs participated in the Western New York Bible Quiz Meet in Akron, NY. Coach Sue Rice and her teams did a great job. Book 1 Team members included Bethany Wolcott and Ayla Walker who earned Second place ribbons. Book 2 teams included Sara Wolcott and Andrew Thompson who earned second place ribbons and Mary Grace Langdon and Cecilia Schmidt who earned first place honors!

March is always a busy month in Awana. There is an emphasis on missions throughout the month. The annual Penny Contest is underway. Don’t forget to cast your votes for the most deserving leader (of a pie in the face) by putting your extra pennies in the jugs in the church basement and the FLC lobby. The pennies collected will go to the Awana missionaries, Marlin and Donna Fuller.

Coming up:

March 24	Ceremony of the Pie – all clubs meet at the FLC
April 7	Awana Fun Fair at FLC – all clubs meet at FLC
April 28	Closing Program at the Church – all clubs meet at church
June 5	Sparks Camp-a-rama
July 23	Awana Golf Open

AWANA – September 2009

It is time to welcome everyone to an exciting 2009-2010 club year! The calendar is filled with contests, theme nights and special activities.

We begin the Club year with the annual Open House at the Family Life Center on Wednesday, September 09, 2009. It’s a great time to catch up on what our clubbers have been doing all summer and visit with their families. If anyone knows children from 3 years old through High School, invite them to come and join the fun on Wednesday evenings.

Coming up soon will be the Fall Leadership Conference for the leaders on October 24; the “Sparkatta Regatta” boat race for the Sparkies on October 28; the Cubbie “Pajama Party” on November 4 for the Cubbies and the “Grand Prix” model car race on November 18 for the clubbers at the FLC.

Please pray for the leaders and children in our AWANA clubs. The Lord has seen fit to give us two buildings to fill with the sound of His Word and has allowed us to send flyers to all the elementary students on Grand Island. With so many outside influences on the children of today, we are fortunate to have the chance to reach them with the Gospel of Christ and to train them in His Word.
