What is Awana?

The word AWANA stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed and comes from 2 Timothy 2:15:

"Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

Uniforms, awards, pins and patches help motivate Clubbers to memorize God's Word. Our mission is "to reach boys & girls with the Gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him."

Our AWANA club (charter #5442) was formed in September, 1984.  From September through May over 80 children participate each week in Bible teaching and memorization, competitions, and special events.

Registration Information

AWANA's new season began Wednesday, September 6th.  Parents must register all new and returning clubbers each year. You may register:

• Any Wednesday night.  You are always welcome!  
• When you begin coming to Club, we will give you an entrance booklet to study and recite from.  Once you have completed the entrance booklet, you will recieve a handbook to begin working in.  The cost of the handbooks are:  Cubbies $6.50, Sparks $6.00, and Truth & Training $6.50.

Uniforms

• The AWANA uniform lets others know you are a member of your club.  Wearing a uniform is not required, but if you have a uniform to display all of your awards, it will be more meaningful.  You can order a uniform as soon as you complete the requirements for membership, which are completing your entrance booklet.  The price of the uniforms are:
• Cubbies Vest - $8.00
• Sparks Vest - $10.00
• Truth & Training Shirts - $17.00 (kids sizes)
• Truth & Training Shirts - $21.00 (adult sizes)
• Wear your complete uniform each week for the club meeting.  Make sure you attach your awards to it as soon as possible!  We encourage all clubbers to wear gym-type shoes as part of the uniform.  Also, we recommend that the clubbers wear modest length shorts or long-pants.  This is for safety on the Game Circle.  Sparks must wear long pants. 

 Dues

• There are no "dues" required for attending AWANA.  However, each clubber is encouraged to bring $.50 each week to help support our sister club in Venezuela and our AWANA missionaries.  The $.50 also is used to help defray the cost of weekly prizes we give to winning teams.
• We are happy to supply your children with the uniform awards they earn throughout the year.  Awards that become lost may be replaced at a nominal cost by contacting your child's leader.
