Awana
clubs are held Wednesday nights throughout
the school year. Children, 3 years -
6th grade, meet in the school for an evening
of fun, learning and inspiration centered
around the Bible.
The
groups are:
|
(3-4
years old) |
The Awana club for preschoolers is
built on two premises.
First, young
children can and should receive
spiritual training.
Home is the primary place for
spiritual training.
The Cubbies program meets these
needs through FUN – and lots
of it!
Awana is fun with a purpose – to reach
and train kids for Jesus Christ. Games,
puppets, crafts, awards and other
activities transform our preschool
program into a lively weekly
experience where fun and learning go
hand in hand. |

The
Awana club for children in
kindergarten through second grade
builds on the material taught in our
preschool club. The
aim of the curriculum is to take
youngsters a step deeper into God’s
Word while giving unsaved boys and
girls regular opportunities to hear
the gospel and come to faith in Jesus
Christ. After
being immersed in solid foundational
teaching at the preschool level, boys
and girls frequently come to an
understanding of their need to trust
Christ as their personal Savior while
in Sparks.
The
Sparks program is firmly grounded in
Scripture. The
three handbooks feature basic truths
about God, Jesus Christ, salvation and
the Bible; an increased emphasis on
Scripture memory over our preschool
materials; and clear and consistent
presentation of the gospel message.
Fun
learning = results!
Sparks club meetings combine
learning with fun to create an
atmosphere of irresistible excitement
for churched and unchurched kids
alike. Club meetings are divided into three segments.
First, Bible teaching, worship,
award presentations and the gospel
message.
Second, small group interaction
and completion of Bible-based lessons.
Third, age-appropriate games on
the Awana game circle.
Along the way, Sparky, the
friendly firefly, encourages boys and
girls to learn verses and complete
assignments throughout the three
handbooks. |

to Second Grades) |

The
name Truth & Training reflects the
passion of Awana to teach third-
through sixth-grade boys and girls the
truth of God’s Word and to train
them to follow Christ in their daily
lives. Our
goal is that many of today’s young
people will become tomorrow’s church
leaders. T&T
is the program that trains the leaders
of tomorrow — today.
Exciting
features to get kids excited about
God’s Word! T&T is
equipped with a variety of dynamic
tools to accomplish this mission.
Four
handbooks
of increasing difficulty which teach
children that life’s ultimate
adventure is a personal relationship
with Jesus Christ . A
cast of fun characters that boys and
girls learn from and follow on
interesting journeys in the handbooks.
Weekly meetings that expose children
to the gospel message, Scripture
memory, Bible study, awards,
team-oriented games and gut-busting
fun. A Bible-centered curriculum
that helps kids build a firm
foundation for their faith, hide
God’s Word in their heart and apply
the truths of Scripture to their daily
lives. Interactive CDs that use
exciting high-tech games to teach and
reinforce key biblical truths.
Evangelism
and discipleship go hand in hand in
our program. By the time a child has
completed T&T, he will have learned
and reviewed approximately 310 verses,
studied
dozens of passages from the Old and
New Testament, regularly heard and
read the gospel message, discovered
the Bible’s response to questions
like “How does God want me to live
my life?” and memorized verses to
back up these answers, and completed
missions projects that help him see
the world through God’s eyes. |
The
acronym Awana comes from the first letters
of a phrase from 2 Timothy 2:15:
Approved
Workmen
Are
Not
Ashamed
Hidden
Springs' clubs will be one of the 15 Awana
clubs meeting in this area of Michigan.
More than 11,000 U.S. churches run Awana.
Awana can also be found in 3,300 churches in
109 other countries. |
