This week was FAVORITE THINGS Night! The clubbers were able to bring one of their favorite things to Awana (it just couldn't be alive or edible!). We had stuffed animals, sports items, electronic devices, places and many others! Our emoji for the week was.... Cool dude! We talked about how people wear sunglasses to keep the sun out of their eyes - [...]
This week was CRAZY SOCK Night! Boy, were there some wild and crazy socks too?! Our emoji for the week was.... Wacky and crazy! These emojis are a fun way to express our silly side when we're texting and emailing. We talked about some of the things that make us "wacky" - foods we like/dislike, types of clothes we wear, what we [...]
It was Table Night last night; each table group decided last week how they wanted to dress. We had clubbers dressed in black & white, all pink, crazy hats, crazy hair and lots of pajamas! Our emoji for the week was.... Angry! We pointed out that almost all the emoji faces are yellow, but this one - and most [...]
Love was definitely "in the air" on Wednesday night at AWANA! The Cove was decked out in red, pink and hearts - and the clubbers were too! This went along with our emoji for the week... Believe it or not, we are half way through the session! There are quite a few clubbers that are close to finishing their books, [...]
BARF night (i.e, Bring a Friend Night) was a raging success! Our clubbers did a fantastic job of inviting their friends to Awana this week; as a result, the Cove was packed with over 120 clubbers, friends and leaders! In addition, we got to introduce the love of Jesus to many new kids! During Table Time, Ms. Betsy called all [...]
Bundled up in scarves, mittens, hats and boots, our clubbers braved the cold to experience the winter wonderland at AWANA last night! (Let's be honest - we live in San Diego - we just cranked up the A/C!). :) We started the night with our Hikers (Kinder/1st graders) working through their handbooks at table time. Boy, were there a lot [...]
All our leaders and clubbers were reunited last night to kick off our 2017 Winter/Spring session! The Cove was packed with 68 kindergarten through 3rd graders - and 16 of them were brand new clubbers joining us this session! In addition, there's the 28 volunteers that make this program happen; they give up their Wednesday evenings to pour into these kids, helping them [...]
This week was PJ/Movie Night. It was a fun celebration to wrap up our fall session! Our schedule was a little different than usual - and more fun (believe it or not?!) The clubbers started out doing table time and games, like usual. But instead of coming together for Counsel Time, we did an immediate switch where the Hikers went out to games and [...]
This week was Inside Out/Backwards Night. Just another reason to dress crazy and be silly! :) During Counsel Time, Ms. Betsy presented the pet of the week: IGUANA. This is not exactly a common pet but it has some interesting characteristics. Iguanas have exceptional eyesight that allows them to see shadows, colors and images from very long distances. One especially unique thing [...]
This week was Missions Night. The clubbers were asked to dress "international" - and boy did they! We had so many countries represented: Egypt, Uganda, Haiti, Mexico, Ireland, Italy, China and, of course, the USA! We did a few things to honor missions this week. First of all, several of our clubbers brought in their Christmas gifts for the kids in Tijuana, Mexico. [...]
