Our AWANA Beginnings!

Calvary Baptist began the Awana Ministry for children on August 16, 2006.  

The church began the program knowing that there were only 3-4 prospective children enrolled in Sunday School at the time.   

This past year we had classes for preschoolers (Cubbies); kindergarten through grade 2 (Sparks) and grades 3 - 6 (T&T which stands for Truth and Training).   Attendance grew in 2006 to 14 clubbers.  

Each week the children participated in games, story time, hearing about God, and memorization of key Bible verses.  (Note: By the time a child has participated and grown to the 6th grade, she/he will have learned and reviewed approximately 349 verses.)

As 2 Timothy 2:15 says, we must be diligent to present ourselves to God as approved workmen who are not ashamed to share the gospel. This is the motto of Awana clubbers and a verse that each clubber commits to memory. 

Please continue to pray for us as we attempt to serve God in such an exciting way to reach children with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

 Update:  In August of 2007, we added another class for clubbers in 

               grades 7-8 called Trek.
