AWANA

Faith officially started AWANA (Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed) last week. She was so excited to see some of her friends from VBS this summer, as well. Our first scripture memory assignment, or Bear Hug, was a verse from 1 John 4:9. It says, God loved us that He sent his Son. Tonight, she recited the verse and received her Cubbies handbook, and hopefully the vests will come in by the next meeting. I hold a very special place in my heart for AWANA. I remember going when I was Faith's age and following it all the way through. Even now as an adult when I come across a specific verse, I can remember a song or hand movements to that verse from AWANA. I hope Faith enjoys it as much as I did as a child, and will grow up to know, love, and serve Christ.

Firmly Awana stands, led by the Lord’s commands;“Approved workmen are not ashamed,” Boys and girls for His service claimed!Hail! Awana! On the march for youth; Hail! Awana! Holding forth the truth;Building lives on the Word of God, Awana stands!Our Savior following with steps unfaltering, And love unaltering, His praise we sing;His banner over us, in service glorious, We’ll fight victorious for Christ our King!
