Dear  Parent,

We are excited to announce that AWANA will be resuming soon at Grace Bible Church.   We’ll be meeting on Friday’s from 6:30-8:30 PM starting September 12.

The AWANA program is open to kids in Kindergarten through 6^th grade.  This year as in the past we will use Myers Corners Elementary School for game time on some nights (see attached schedule).  Kids in Kindergarten through 2^nd grade (SPARKS club) should be dropped off at Myers Corners Elementary School at 6:25 PM and kids in 3^rd through 6^th grade (Truth & Training club) should be dropped off at Grace Bible Church at 6:30 PM.   All kids should be picked up at Grace Bible Church at 8:30 PM.

This year we want to improve our communication to you.  We ask that at the time you register your kids you indicate whether you prefer to receive news and cancellation information via e-mail or phone calls.   We are working on a website and will relay the information to you as soon as it is available.

This year we plan to have the Pinewood Derby in the Spring for kids in 3^rd-6^th grade and the sleepover at the end of the year for all kids.   The incentive for kids to finish their books is really exciting this year.  If 20 kids finish their books, we will have a giant blow up slide (like they have at fairs) at the sleepover.  If 30 kids finish their books, we will have pony rides at the church during the sleepover in addition to the giant slide.

We can always use extra help, from listening to kids recite verses, to helping with games, to serving in the nursery.  You do not need to be a member of Grace Bible Church to help, we just ask that you are in agreement with the AWANA doctrinal statement.

We look forward to working with all the kids that God will bring to AWANA this year, helping them to serve, love, and obey Him better.

For more information, contact Mark Klare, our AWANA Commander at 454-6093
