When is Awana held?

• AWANA is held Wednesday nights from 6:45 PM - 8:15 PM
• NO CLUB is held during LWSD weeks off (LWSD 2021-2022 Calendar)

What are 'Theme Nights'?

• There are 'Theme Nights' Every Club night where kids can dress up, or participate in contests.

What is 'Counsel Time'?

• Counsel time is where an AWANA leader will present information about God, the Bible, or the Gospel.

What is 'Game Time'?

• Games are done every night where teams of 4-6 compete against each other. Game time is held by all clubs, with Sparks and T-n-T joining in the same game time.  Cubbies and Puggles have their own individual game time

I heard there are prizes...?

• Yes! We like to award kids for participation and prizes are given every club night. Candy is a popular option, so if you would prefer your child not receive any food items - please let the AWANA secretary know so alternative prizes can be provided.

Is there any cost to participating in AWANA?

• Yes, there are uniforms (Optional), handbooks (required), and a nominal yearly fee charged.  Families can opt to pay as they go throughout the year if they are unable to pay a lump sum at the beginning of the year.

How do kids get points?

• Points are accrued throughout the year - and at the end of the year on Closing Night we spend the entire evening recognizing all the kids efforts throughout the year and finish up with a prize selection time.  Points are given for:
  • Going to Sunday School
  • Brining their Bible
  • Dressing up for the theme or wearing their uniform
  • Answering Quiz Questions correctly (if we are doing Quiz time)
  • Winning Games during Game Time (if we are doing Game time)
  • Random point assignment based on behavior that exemplifies Jesus's teachings (i.e. being well behaved even while others are rowdy, doing an outstanding job of helping others, etc.)

What do kids do during Handbook time in T&T?

• Kids will split off with their individual leader (we have teenage & adult helpers) to work on their handbooks.  In T&T, we encourage kids to say at least (1) section a night - and for the tough ones we suggest they work on them at home so they can be ready during group
• To help encourage the kids, we provide a few different rewards
  • We have colored prize boxes and based on the number of sections a kid says - they get to pull from one of the colored boxes
  • For the group that said that most verses, they get 'The Fun Room' for the next club night
  • Every night clubbers say at LEAST 1 verse, they get a sticker on a sticker chart.  The night before any 'breaks' (i.e. we don't have club the next week) we have a 'fun night'.  Each clubber gets a ticket for every sticker achieved on the sticker chart and these tickets can be turned in on 'Fun Night'.  Some examples of things the tickets can be turned in for:
    • Ice Cream Sundaes where each ticket can be turned in for different toppings
    • Carnival games where tickets are turned in to play various games and earn more tickets to turn in for prizes or Cotton Candy, etc.)
