What is Awana?

~Borrowed from the Awana site. ~

Awana helps churches and parents work together to develop spiritually strong children and youth who faithfully follow Jesus Christ. Our programs offer a proven approach for evangelizing and discipling kids in the church and community.

As a ministry leader for over 60 years, Awana is making an impact. A recent national survey found Awana to be as important to our alumni's spiritual foundation as all other church activities combined. Among alumni who participated in our programs for at least six years, 92.7 percent still attend church at least weekly as adults!

Each week, more than 1.5 million kids ages 2 to 18 participate in Awana. Over 12,000 churches in the U.S. and nearly 13,000 internationally run Awana programs that change young lives through biblical truth.

Now a few words from me...

Where else can you go and have fun, fellowship, games, and most importantly learn God's Word with leaders and volunteers who love you...who love having fun...and who are learning with you, too.  Where else can you go and have giggles about silly adults who will let you put pies in their face, put make-up on your male leaders face, decorate them like a Christmas tree, let you squirt them with mustard and ketchup, and so much more!  

At Tignall Baptist we take learning about God and learning Scriptures seriously.  Every week the clubbers are led in a Bible study and the Salvation plan is shared --EVERY WEEK! 

Now...what can you do? Make sure you bring your children each week.  Invite their friends. Study with them each week so that they can learn the verses. Ask them questions. You'll be surprised at how much you will learn right along with your children.  Make sure they wear tennis shoes so that they'll be safe in game time. Make sure they bring their Bible and if they don't have one let their leader know and we'll be happy to get them one. 

Your children will be in a safe, friendly, loving atmosphere. They will have trained leaders who love them and enjoy them. 

Please plan to bring your children and any other children you know to our first Awana meeting of our new year - Sept. 16, at 4:45 p.m. till 6:15 p.m.  We have a club for ages 3 thru 8th grade. 

See you there!
