Awana..Learning, Laughing, Life-Changing.: Thanks to Last Week's Parents Volunteers

Theme Scripture & Awana's Goal

The theme scripture verse, which is also the meaning of Awana can be found on 2 Timonthy 2:15:

15Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

The Goal of Awana at RGAC is to serve of the boys and girls of the lower-mainland. How so? Each week, the Awana program is full of action-packed team-games. Moreover, there's a story-time of a special message. Finally, there is a small group council time, when each child gets attention from a mentor or councillor.

Kids love the games time, because ...well...its fun! Good team spirit, punctuality, passing of tests, memorization of verses, and an healthy attitude are all awarded by a point-system. Kids are thrilled by winning. They are also awarded positively with compliments from peers and leaders, with great gifts from our Awana store (operated by our own team of pre-teens who used to be Awana kids too!).

Thanks to Last Week's Parents Volunteers

Special thanks to the parent volunteers for the past two weeks: Mr. Ming Chan, and Winnie Chu!

This week's parent volunteers are Olivia, Esther, and Andrew.

Please continue to pray for AWANA at Richmond Grace Alliance church. For three consecutive weeks, there werea bout 23-26 weeks each Friday. Praise the Lord.

Seven faithful Awana servants went to attend the 2007 Awana Conference "Follow Me" on the 20th at Delta South Baptist Church. It was a successful event! Many of us learned a lot, had fun, and worshipped God together. Some of the Leaders-in-Trainings attended a workshop called "owies and booies". They learned how to tend to kids with well..owies. =) I attended a workshop about "The Inner Needs of Children".

in Christ,

The Awana Secretary.
