CURRENT AWANA 2013
- 1. Because kidsBecause kidsBecausekids matter to God!matter to God!matter to God! Ages 2-18 Wednesdays 6-8 pm September—May Are you helping your kids build a rock solid faith? God is very clear in scripture: Parents are responsible for their child’s spiritual training. While the church is a great support and willing resource, it cannot impact your child for Jesus in the powerful way moms and dads were meant to — each and every day. “These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” —Deuteronomy 6:6-9. Awana is a proven program to help you intentionally train your kids to follow Jesus with their whole heart for the rest of their lives. Study with your children. Memorize scripture with them. Discuss their verses. Volunteer in their club. Focused on God’s Word, Awana builds Godly character in your kids and you! Awana is an international ministry for children with thousands of clubs worldwide. It’s a lot like Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts, but instead of cook- ing or camping, Awana kids are learning God’s Word and how to make it real in their own lives. God says in Isaiah 55:11 that His Word will accomplish the purpose He has set for it, but what is the purpose of God’s Word? 1. Salvation (John 3:16) 2. Discipleship (2 Timothy 3:16, Psalm 119:11) Be purposeful about your child’s spiritual development — join Awana!

- 2. PUGGLES (2-year-olds) Our youngestAwana students are bright and curious. They are developing an understanding of the world around them and have an instinctual love for God and His creation. Puggles enjoy basic Bible truths through story, song, puppets and play. Lessons are built around four precepts… God made everything. God saw that it was good. Give thanks to God. Puggles meet in the CBC Nursery and are taught by our professional staff. Light snacks are served. Class size is limited so register early. MUST BE 2 BY SEPT. 1 OF THE CURRENT YEAR. CUBBIES (3 & 4-year olds) Preschool is a great time to build a strong foundation in scripture. Cubbies drink in God’s Word by learning to memorize short verses with their parents at home. Those verses are emphasized at club through large group story time, songs, snacks, crafts and games. The entire Cubbie night centers around their memory verse. Cubbies learn who Father God and Jesus are, and earn badges as a reward for hiding God’s Word in their hearts! Intentional discipleship through God’s Word! SPARKS (Kinder—2nd grade) In Sparks, kids are setting the corner- stone for their lives as Christians. Like Cubbies, Sparks learn memory verses from their handbooks at home with mom and dad. They recite those verses for their volunteer leaders at Awana to earn their pilot wings, jewels and badges. Game time keeps the evening lively, as kids learn the Biblical realities of following instructions and obeying rules. Then, it’s off to large group time for praise, worship and a practical lesson from God’s Word at Council Time. Dynamic speakers not only challenge kids to start living out God’s Word, but each week, the Gospel is presented in a clear and concise way. Kids truly meet Jesus at Awana! T&T (3rd —6th grades) T&T stands for Truth & Training and that is exactly what is happening! Kids are building their faith through Bible memorization, Bible study lessons and practical application of God’s Word from their handbooks. In T&T, kids not only learn how to use the Bible, they get the answers to life’s biggest questions… Who is God? Who is Jesus? The Holy Spirit? How can I be saved and go to Heaven? Why should I go to church or believe the Bible? Why should I keep myself pure? How does God want me to live my life? Again, kids earn awards for completing handbook lessons and memorizing Bible verses. Game time helps enforce Biblical principals of working together and consequences for disobeying rules. The evening ends with a Council Time message from God’s Word designed to turn hearts toward Jesus and help kids make wise decisions to follow His Word for a lifetime and beyond! TREK (7th & 8th grades) Junior High is a tough time for kids, but God’s Word can equip them to defend their ever building faith. Handbook lessons, memory verses and Council Time focus on discipleship. Instead of games and awards, Trek kids have earned the right to be Student Leaders. Trek Student Leaders help younger kids in Cubbies, Sparks and Games. Serving is an exciting step to becoming a rock solid follower of Jesus, making good, positive life decisions. JOURNEY (9th —12th grades) Awana at CBC would be very difficult without our High School Student Leaders. While these teens are still learning verses and completing handbook lessons, they take a lead role in teaching Cubbies, Sparks and T&T students. Journey provides reinforcement of Biblical principles through building a strong Christian world- view. Studies show that kids who have completed six (6) years of Awana or more are 92% more likely to continue going to church as adults and 74% more likely to serve regularly in their church.
