MISSIONSFEST 2008 & Awana returns for Feb 1st

2008-01-28T16:18:00.000-08:00

About 35 Awana kids, parents, and leaders attended the MissonsFestival 2008 at Canada Place, Vacouver on Jan 25th. It was benefical for everybody.

Kids went to the children's program where they learned about missions, Christian workers, in Japan. They also made some origami!

Leaders learned a lot from Harvey, B.C.'s Awana Missionary.

One of the kids who attended told me she's interested in becoming a missionary in Mexico.

One of my favourite memories for this year's missions festival is that everyone sang the Awana theme song on the bus!

There will be AWANA meeting as usual this Friday on the 1st day of February.

New comers are always welcome.

Hi!

Awana at RGAC is being blessed by God during the last 4 months. The Awana team and kids are looking forward to more exciting games, trips, and theme-lights in 2008.

In November, we had a HANDICAPPED theme night to remember war-veterans and to experience life handicapped. Pictures are available on:

We finished our bottle drive. LOTS OF THANKS to MANDY and CLARA, our Leaders-In-Training who counted all the bottles. We got $33 dollars in refund for the bottles and cans that were collected by our Awana kids.

On December 14th, we visited the Van Dusen Festival of Lights. We had about 60 participants on this field trip. Parents, kids, and leaders enjoyed the colourful lights, especially the ginger-bread woods!

Please continue to pray for Awana RGAC and our children ministry. WE need our prayers. We need God to watch for us.

In January, we hope to take the kids to Missions Festival 2008! May God plant a seed within the kids' heart to be God's hands and feet in spreading His Great Word.

Thanks to Last Week's Parents Volunteers

2007-10-26T15:05:00.000-07:00

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.

Bottle Drive!

2007-10-19T12:20:00.000-07:00

Dear All Kids and Parents,

We are holding a bottle drive to raise funds for the Awana store, equipment, handbooks, etc. and awareness for recycling. So instead of throwing away your bottles and cans, you can bring them to Awana within RGAC.

The bottle drive will be from October 26 to November 23. Give all your bottles and cans to our Leaders-in-Training: Mandy, Clara, Kathy, and Carson.

Wash your bottles & cans before bringing them please. Also, do not bring any milk cartons.

Pray for our bottle drive!

AWANA FUN for the next 10 weeks.

2007-10-12T12:30:00.000-07:00

Dear All Kids and Parents,

Recently, I travelled to the US. In Oregon State, I stopped at a small town. A small poster on the glass door of a cornerstore caught my eye: an Awana ad. There's Awana in a tiny town with only one multi-grade school. Their Awana program caters to kids up to grade 8! Awesome! Kids everywhere love Awana. I wished I took a picture of the poster.

For the next 10 weeks, we'll have Awana every Friday night all the way up until December 21st, which is our next Awana-off day.

Have a wonderful God-blessed day,

RGAC Awana team.

Dearest All Awana kids and parents of RGAC,
