AWANA Games & Awards

Another year of AWANA at WCC is in the books! We had a big group of regularly attending kids this year, and though they were often loud & rambunctious, they grow on you & had a lot of fun. I think even the kids from non-Christian homes learned a lot and grew a lot in faith.

The last few Game Times of the year were pretty fun. We try to make this an exciting time in order to keep the kids excited about coming back. We bought some roller scooters to play some new games. They proved to be a little dangerous at times, but the kids liked them! (And the grown-ups too!)

They love playing games outside the last few weeks where it is finally warm enough and light enough. The boys especially like tug of war and rope games. They found out they needed some work on team work and communication.

The last night's presentation is always a good time to show off to the church family what the kids have learned. Abigail finished her first Sparks book this year (actually 2 times through!) and did an amazing job! I was concerned she would have a hard time, not being a reader, but she aced her verses each week and even went through the Review Book.

I taught the T&T group (3rd-6th grade) each week and they always ask interesting questions and really made me think through the lessons a little more deeply. Leah and Andrew both finished their books, as well-- Leah her third and Andrew his first. They love proving to themselves they can do it all the way through and working hard on memorizing each section.
