Children

Our Awana Club is among thousands of Awana clubs in churches across the world. Awana is dedicated to reaching boys and girls with the gospel of Christ and training them to serve Him. AWANA is an acronym—“Approved Workman Are Not Ashamed” –taken from II Timothy 2:15.

We do hope you will be a part of this exciting program and witness how your child’s spiritual life will be strengthened as we work together to prepare your child for life and the many challenges it will bring.

Our Awana program consists of three groups: Cubbies for 3 and 4 year olds (3 year olds must be 3 on or before September 1st), Sparks for kindergarteners-second grade, and Truth and Training for third- sixth grade. Doors will open Sundays afternoons at 4:15 for children to check in. Awana begins at 4:30 and ends promptly at 6:30.

An Awana Club meeting consists of several parts including time for games, achievements, memorizing scripture, and a Bible story. During a typical night, your child will take part in Handbook Time when he/she will recite scripture to a leader to earn achievement awards, Council Time that is the group Bible study time, and Game Time which emphasizes team work and fun.

There will be the need for you to purchase a uniform and handbook for your child. After you complete an order form and include payment we will order your child’s materials. Scholarships are available. If you would like further information please contact Ellen Goodman or Vivian Cade.  You may download the FPC Awana Parent Handbook in PDF or Microsoft Word format from the website and you can also visit AWANA on the web at www.awana.com  T.J. and Ferrol Sipes serve as AWANA missionaries to Mississippi and West Tennessee and can be visited on the web at www.awana4u2.org/sipes/
