BARF Night (aka Bring A Real Friend) This week's theme was BARF Night. This means that our AWANA kids can bring a real friend to enjoy all the AWANA fun! There were so many friends here of all ages and sizes! They got the true AWANA welcome when they played games, heard the message about a greater reward and learned some [...]
Last night was Crazy Sock Night (and there were lots of wild and wacky socks!). More importantly, though, it was the first week of our series on CANDY! The candy of the week was....chocolate! The clubbers were thrilled to get to snack on M&Ms during table time - and I'm sure it helped them to memorize even more Bible verses! [...]
We had more than 40 leaders and clubbers splashing the night away at our Club 45 Kick Off Pool Party last night! It was a great start to the year. We played group games and pool games, had pizza and popsicles - but mostly we just hung as a group getting to know each other and enjoying getting to swim for [...]
Our AWANA Kick Off last night was awesome! The Cove was packed with over 50 kindergarten through 3rd graders, who were loved and guided by 28 fearless AWANA leaders! In addition, we had 31 clubbers joining us for the very first time! It was so great to be able to share with them what AWANA is all about and what we get to [...]
Every day this week was a little sad because we weren't at VBS, but... let's take a few minutes and recap what an amazing week it was on the Space Shuttle Mission! Every day last week, we had 300 kids ("Astronauts") ages preschool through 5th grade flood our campus to learn about Jesus (oh - and have A LOT of [...]
Our VBS Space Shuttle Mission is....COMPLETE!! What an amazing week! Our Astronauts were so great at staying focused on our key job for the week (which of course was to have fun) but also to . . . SEARCH THE VISIBLE, DISCOVER THE INVISIBLE! We finished the week strong with some really fun activities in our rotations: CRAFT--The Astronauts created very [...]
FIRST OF ALL - BEFORE WE GET TO VBS... We talked to the kids today about our mid-week programs for Kindergarten through 5th graders that will start up after school starts. AWANA is for kindergarten through 3rd graders and meets on Wednesday nights from 5:15pm-6:45pm. The registration is typically $75 but we are offering a significant discount for our VBS [...]
Hard to believe our VBS space shuttle mission is over half way complete! Boy, have we had fun!! Typically, "hump day" at VBS is kind of low energy - not today! Our crew was fired up and ready as ever to embark on their mission! They were, once again, very busy at all the rotations today! In craft, they made [...]
Well, we completed the second day of our Space Shuttle Mission! Our crew (made up of Pilots, Flight Engineers and Astronauts) is amazing; they have stayed focused on their mission and been able to SEARCH THE VISIBLE AND DISCOVER THE INVISIBLE every day! Not only that, but they were beautifully decked out for Super Color Spirit Day; it was awesome! [...]
The first day on the Canyon Springs Space Shuttle Mission was awesome! Our crew of Pilots, Flight Engineers and Astronauts are the cream of the crop and made our mission today a total success! The crew made their way to four different ports this morning: Craft, Snack/Rec, Music/Missions and Story. All of them centered around our job for the week, which is...TO [...]
