Weekly Schedule
From the kids' point of view, Awana is a lot of fun! But it is
also designed to give them a balanced learning and growing
experience. There are three half-hour meeting segments; their order
depends on the club.
Our clubs meet on Thursday evenings, September 15th
through May 17th, from 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. Everyone first
meets at ACRC to boards the vehicle which leaves ACRC by 6:35pm to
arrive at Fair Haven Bible Chapel by 7:00pm. Club is over at 8:45pm
and clubbers return back to ACRC by 9:30pm. Each club meeting is a 1
hour and 45 minutes program comprising of three segments: Game Time,
Handbook Time, and Council Time. The club meeting begins with the
flag ceremony. Clubbers and leaders pledge first to the national
flag, then the Awana flag.
Game Time
This 30-minute segment features high-energy activities featuring
individual and team competition -- a time to learn team play and
sportsmanship. The clubs are divided into four teams (Red, Blue,
Green, and Yellow) that compete on Awana's unique four-way Game
Circle. Games are aimed at the skill level of the children.
All children should wear sneakers or other non-slip shoes for
safety during Game Time. Children who do not do so may have to sit out
Game Time.
Handbook Time
This 30-minute segment is a time for the children to work on their
handbooks. They break into groups where each child gets one-on-one
attention from a leader. Handbooks are filled with lots of activities
as well as verses from the Bible to be memorized. Through handbook
activities, leaders help the children to understand God's Word and
apply it to daily life.
Council Time
This 30-minute large-group segment includes club announcements, awards
presentations, song time, testimonies, a Bible message and closing.
Some meetings have themes and special activities, such as Wacky
Hair Night (everyone comes with their craziest hairstyles). There are
also special events outside of the regular meetings, such as; Saturday
BBQ’s or Sleepover’s when clubbers spend time with the leaders doing
all sorts of fun planned activities.
