AWANA Clubs at WBC
Awana is for children age 3 - 6th grade.
The current club year has begun, but children can join anytime. There is a cost, but scholarship help is available through the church office.
Cubbies is for 3- and 4-year olds
Sparks is for K-2nd graders
Truth & Training is for grades 3-6
At Check-in time Clubbers get points for bringing their book, bringing friends, wearing their uniform, attending Sunday School the previous Sunday, and for bringing a friend. Points are good for AWANA Bucks later. AWANA Bucks are spent at the AWANA Store. PLEASE parents, help your clubbers remember their Bucks on Store Nights.
The club meeting after Opening Ceremonies, is in three parts - Counsel Time, Handbook Time, and GAME TIME.
All Cubbies do the same book for that year. There are two books and they alternate years. Parent or Guardian of a Cubbie MUST stay on the church premises. Also, Cubbies must be picked up by 7:45.
Sparks has 3 Handbooks: HangGlider, Hiker, Climber. Sparks is being updated from Crowns to Wings, one year at a time. T&T has 4 Handbooks.
Each Clubber starts in the first book after an introductory book. The handbooks have memory verses and activities. Mom and dad can help the children learn the verses. At club time, Listeners listen to the verses (2 helps allowed) and check them off in the books. Some of the activities must be done at home. Parents, your participation is essential if the book is to be finished by Awards night.
All clubbers get awards each week for their work: sew-on patches, pin-on wings or crowns, and jewels in them, for Sparks; and pin-on badges with stickers for T&T. Each clubber has a uniform to wear: blue for Cubbbies, red for Sparks, and green knit shirts for T&T. Leaders wear uniforms too.
During Activity Nights (in red on the calendar) the normal schedule may not be followed. The Regatta is a boat race, like a pinewood derby, except with boats. Parental involvement (dad, usually!) is a must for this. (AWANA's pinewood derby is called the "Grand Prix" and may resume next year. )
Sewing nights are scheduled to help with sew-on awards.
At the end of the AWANA year, an Awards Night recognizes all the hard work by the leaders and clubbers, with ribbons or trophies for finishing the books.
