AWANA CLUBS OF VILLAGE BAPTIST CHURCH
Meet Each Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.

General Purpose:
The purpose of the AWANA ministry is to reach boys and girls with the Gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him. This church-based community club is open to all children and youth, whether they attend VBC, or another church, or no church. AWANA is an acronym that stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed, based on the Bible verse 2 Timothy 2:15.
Partners:
Our goal is to partner with you, the parents, not to assume your responsibility. You are the most influential person in your child’s life. You can help them succeed in AWANA by studying their sections and verses with them. Have them recite their verses to you, and recite them back to your child. Make a fun time of it! There are great online parent resources at http://awana.org/athome/resources.html Throughout the AWANA year there will be “Commander Challenges” where your child will be asking you to get involved with them. Be watching for flyers from your child’s club leader for this and other fun activities and opportunities.
Cubbies, Sparks, T&T and 24-7 Ministries clubs will run each Wednesday from 6:30 to 8 pm. Parents are always welcome to stay in club with their child to observe and participate; contact the club Commander for details. Please do not bring them for AWANA until 6:25 pm. Parents are required to come into the church to pick up their children at their classrooms. No child will be released to a sibling unless prior arrangements are made with the Commander.
We work hard to keep club costs at a minimum. However, there are a few costs associated with membership that help us keep club time fun, safe, exciting, and memorable. Parents are responsible for the following costs:
Cubbies: Total Club dues $25.00/year covers dues, uniform, and handbook. Basic dues (no uniform or book needed) are $10.00 for this abbreviated year only.
