We began Club 45 with Club Time. Since it was raining, everyone was inside - playing games, throwing the ball around, playing limbo - and, of course, flipping water bottles! :) Our mixers were Pass the Ball and Going on a Trip. Ask your Clubber how those went down - it was fun! During Club Teaching Time we learned the Eighth Commandment; You [...]
BARF night (i.e, Bring a Friend Night) was a raging success! Our clubbers did a fantastic job of inviting their friends to Awana this week; as a result, the Cove was packed with over 120 clubbers, friends and leaders! In addition, we got to introduce the love of Jesus to many new kids! During Table Time, Ms. Betsy called all [...]
We began Club 45 with Club Time. This is a time where the children are free to choose from a variety of games and just hang out. Our mixer was a partner game where they had to pair up and do whatever Ms. Noreen called out (put forehead to shoe, finger to nose, back to back, etc). We did a few [...]
Bundled up in scarves, mittens, hats and boots, our clubbers braved the cold to experience the winter wonderland at AWANA last night! (Let's be honest - we live in San Diego - we just cranked up the A/C!). :) We started the night with our Hikers (Kinder/1st graders) working through their handbooks at table time. Boy, were there a lot [...]
Our winter session of Club 45 kicked off with a bang last night! Our 4th & 5th graders braved the rain to join us for a super fun night. We did miss those who didn't make it back and look forward to reconnecting with them when they return! We began Club 45 with “Club Time”; this is a perfect time to reconnect with the [...]
All our leaders and clubbers were reunited last night to kick off our 2017 Winter/Spring session! The Cove was packed with 68 kindergarten through 3rd graders - and 16 of them were brand new clubbers joining us this session! In addition, there's the 28 volunteers that make this program happen; they give up their Wednesday evenings to pour into these kids, helping them [...]
It was a beautiful “Night in Bethlehem” last Saturday 12/3/16 as we welcomed over 350 visitors to our Bethlehem village! Each visitor received a tote bag on their way in to the city, to collect and carry all that they accumulated during their stay. The young ones made their way through six village stations: the Scribe’s Tent, Potter’s Shed, Bakery, [...]
This week was PJ/Movie Night. It was a fun celebration to wrap up our fall session! Our schedule was a little different than usual - and more fun (believe it or not?!) The clubbers started out doing table time and games, like usual. But instead of coming together for Counsel Time, we did an immediate switch where the Hikers went out to games and [...]
This was our LAST week of Club 45 until January; we'll start back after camp, on January 23rd. We had a super fun night celebrating the end of our fall session! It started out with Club Time, as usual, but it was shortened - because we had lots of other activities to do! First, we made sure all the clubbers had their [...]
This week was Inside Out/Backwards Night. Just another reason to dress crazy and be silly! :) During Counsel Time, Ms. Betsy presented the pet of the week: IGUANA. This is not exactly a common pet but it has some interesting characteristics. Iguanas have exceptional eyesight that allows them to see shadows, colors and images from very long distances. One especially unique thing [...]
