A Note to the Parents

General Information

HANDBOOKS: The first Entrance Test booklet is free. However all thereafter if lost or mis-place must be paid for. Upon completion of the Entrance Test booklet a one-year handbook is required to continue in the program.

UNIFORMS:- Upon completion of the entrance test, a clubber is eligible to wear the AWANA uniform. We encourage each clubber to purchase and wear the uniform. The AWANA program requires that a clubber must have the uniform in order to receive the awards earned.

All Club meetings are divided into three segments: Handbook Time, Game Time and Council Time.

HANDBOOK TIME: Memory work and discussion on Bible reading assignments and comprehension. When the leader is satisfied that the clubber has covered the handbook material adequately he will sign the handbook for awards.

COUNCIL TIME: includes singing and instruction from the Bible, covering a variety of topics relevant to growing up in and coping with the pressures of today's society as a Christian.

GAME TIME: offers clubbers the opportunity to participate as team members in physical activities which can help develop team spirit, good sportsmanship, and game skills and sell-confidence. Games are competitive in nature and winning is desirable but leaders are encouraged to give top priority to building personnel self- esteem.
