AWANA is a global, nonprofit ministry committed to the belief that the greatest impact for Christ starts with kids who know, love and serve Him.

Awana helps churches and parents work together to develop spiritually strong children and youth who faithfully follow Jesus Christ. Our programs offer a proven approach for evangelizing and discipling kids in the church and community. As a ministry leader for over 60 years, Awana is making an impact. A recent national survey found Awana to be as important to our alumni's spiritual foundation as all other church activities combined. Among alumni who participated in our programs for at least six years, 92.7 percent still attend church at least weekly as adults!

Next week is Sports Night! Come dressed in jerseys or other sports clothes.

It looks like I forgot to post last week.

Since there was no verse last week, I decided to do something different. Last week and tonight we went over the book of Ruth. We learned about Ruth and her mother-in-law, Naomi, and how they both became widows. We learned how Ruth was a virtuous woman with love and loyalty to her mother-in-law, and through a series of seeming random and mundane events, she meets Boaz. We learned that Boaz is related to Naomi and he could be their kinsman redeemer. Boaz agrees, but says there is another man who is a closer relative, and should have the opportunity to redeem them first. The man's "name" is Ploni Almoni (a Hebrew phrase meaning Mr. So-and-so). And Ploni was very happy to be their redeemer when he thought he was just acquiring land, but as soon as he learned he'd have to marry Ruth, he wanted nothing to do with it. Boaz makes good on his promise and redeems Naomi's family and marries Ruth. He and Ruth have a son, Obed, the grandfather of King David.

In Ruth we can see God clearly working in the background, making sure His will and purpose at being done. There's no grand battles or plagues in Ruth, just ordinary people facing ordinary challenges of life, and God can still do extraordinary things in our ordinary lives.

We also see Ruth and Naomi waiting for a redeemer and hoping that Boaz will come through. We, as Christians, don't need worry if our redeemer will come through for us, He already has by His work on the cross.

Next week T&T's verse is:
“[6] The words of the Lord are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times.”
Psalms 12:6 NKJV

10/22/2026

T&T's verse this week is:

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
II Timothy 3:16-17 NKJV

We learned that the Bible didn't just fall out of the sky one day. We learned that it was written in a number of ways over many years by many different authors. Some had visions, some spoke to God, others wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit, but no matter the method, we know our Bible comes from God. And because God cannot lie, we can know that the Bible is truth.

No new verse for next week, they will continue working on II Timothy 3:16-17.

10/15/2026

Last night we had our Potato Head night! As always, we had a ton of amazing and creative submissions. Our judges had a hard time picking the winners. And even though, not everyone won, I do want to thank everyone for participating, I loved seeing all the different ideas!

T&T's verse last night was:
“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, ”
Romans 1:20 NKJV

We learned that God is revealed Himself all around us. Whether we look at the amazing vastness of space, or ordinary moments in our everyday lives. We learned that anyone anywhere can look at creation around them and know that someone made it, and that if they want to know that someone, He had revealed Himself to us in His word.

Next week their verse is:
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
II Timothy 3:16-17 NKJV

Next week is Potato Head night! Make a crazy potato head and you may win a prize.

Tonight T&T reviewed the section "God is..."

In our lesson we learned that God is called many things and has many titles. We learned that God's name means "I Am," and that He's called that because He doesn't rely on anything else to exist, He is, and always was, and always will be. We also learned that He is called Abba Father, and if we have Jesus as our savior, then we are adopted into His family, and can come to Him as our Father.

Next week their verse is
“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, ”
Romans 1:20 NKJV

10/01/2026

T&T's verse tonight was:
John 16:33 NKJV
“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

We learned that biblical peace isn't just the absence of conflict, but about wholeness. We learned that true peace can only come from God, and that we can have that peace because of Jesus' work on the cross. We learned that because God is unchanging and always loves us, that even when we have hardship in our lives, we can have peace when we pray and give our cares to God.

Next week is a review of the "God Is......." section.

09/17/2026

T and T's verse for tonight was:

I John 2:1 NKJV
[1] My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

Tonight we learned that Jesus is our advocate before the Father. We learned that we should always do our best not to sin, but if we do sin, we know that Jesus intercedes for us. If we have accepted Jesus as our savior, then we know we can go before the Father and He will see Jesus', not our sin.

Next week is GLOW STICK NIGHT!!!!!

Next week, T&T's verse will be:
Psalms 46:1 NKJV
[1] God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

First night of Cubbies! Cubbie Bear was excited to welcome back his old friends and meet his new ones!

05/28/2026

Tonight is our last night of Awana for the year! It's been so much fun working with the kids this year, thank you everyone who helped, thank you to all the parents for bringing your kids and trusting us with teaching them. It has been a blessing to be a part of their journey.

Tonight our lesson was on Noah. We learned that there was evil and wickedness on the whole earth, except for Noah. So God wiped out all of the evil from the earth with a great flood, but saved Noah and his family. After the flood, God promised to never flood the whole earth again. He also told Noah and his sons to be fruitful and multiply, just like He told Adam and Eve. Then Noah planted a vineyard (very similar to a garden) and worked it, just like Adam and Eve. Then, Noah sinned, just like Adam and Eve. We would need another person who could live a sinless life and take our sins so we could be forgiven. That person was Jesus, and God promised that whoever believes in Him would have everlasting life. And just like God keeps His promise to never flood the earth again, He will keep that promise too!

This week was our last regular week of AWANA! Next week we'll be having our awards night. We will still have devotion time and game time. Then, at 7:10, we'll have our award ceremony in the auditorium, and then back to the cafeteria for cookies and ice cream.

For our lesson this week, we finished up the book of Esther. Esther revealed to the king that she was Jewish and that Haman plotted to kill all of the Israelites in the kingdom. Haman is killed and the Israelites are allowed to defend themselves from their enemies. The book ends with the Jewish people being saved and a new holiday being started. The book of Esther is a beautiful reminder that God is with us, even when we don't see Him. It reminds us that He doesn't always use the splitting of seas or raining fire from the sky, most of the time He uses ordinary people doing ordinary things.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the awards next week!

05/14/2026

This week is the chapter review for T&T and we continued going over the story of Esther:

We talked about even a while bunch of "coincidences." Esther is made queen, right before there's a plot to kill all of the Israelites. The king has trouble sleeping and his servant reads about how they forgot to honor Mordecai for saving the king. Haman decides to kill Mordecai the night the king remembers Mordecai saved his life. And then, when Haman thinks the king wants to honor him, he really wants to honor Mordecai. Haman tells his wife what happens, and she realizes that Mordecai is Jewish, and that Haman won't prevail against him. We ended tonight with Haman being summoned to Esther's party. There are some people who might look at a story like this and think these are all coincidences, but we know that God's hand is on His people every step of the way. Next week we'll finish the story!

Next week is a makeup week for any verses the kids missed throughout the year.
