Sunday Nights
5:30 – 7:30pm
September 17th 2006 to June 10th 2007
Why do hundreds of thousands of kids attend AWANA Clubs every week? AWANA is fun! That is the bottom line for most kids. Of course, they are learning and growing while they are having fun.
AWANA Club meetings are brimming with life-enriching experiences for young people! Trained leaders guide children through age appropriate material. Clubbers learn that God is real, that He loves them, and that He has expressed that love through Jesus Christ. They also learn how to apply the truths of the Bible to their daily lives. In a world desperate for high standards of morality and ethics, AWANA uses the Bible to teach children to honor God and their fellow human beings.
The goal of AWANA Clubs is to reach Boys and Girls with the gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him. Since 1950, churches have been using AWANA to reach out to youth in their communities. The AWANA Clubs program is distinctively Christian and Bible-centered. Of Course, AWANA Clubs do not exclude kids based on their religious affiliation. The club meetings are open to all.

Three segments provide start-to-finish adventure in every club meeting! Each has a purpose.
Game Time: Every AWANA Club meeting includes a high-energy Game Time featuring individual and team competition. Game Time unleashes kids’ natural energy and enthusiasm. The AWANA Game Circle has universal appeal. Kids everywhere love AWANA games! Everyone participates.
Handbook Time: Using achievement-oriented curriculum materials, AWANA emphasizes memorization and understanding of key Bible verses. With a trained leader alongside to encourage and guide, clubbers develop a Bible-based view of how to know and serve God. Clubbers are rewarded for their achievements as they progress through the handbooks.
Council Time: The whole club gathers for a Bible message, singing, and announcements of upcoming events. One highlight of Council Time is the presentation of awards for individual handbook progress and team competition.

Sparks (for K - 2nd grade) club meetings combine learning with fun to create an atmosphere of irresistible excitement for all kids. Club meetings are divided into three segments:
- Bible teaching, worship, award presentations and the gospel message.
- Small group interaction and completion of Bible-based lessons.
- Age-appropriate games on the Awana game circle.
Along the way, Sparky, the friendly firefly, encourages boys and girls to learn verses and complete assignments throughout the three handbooks.

The name Truth & Training reflects the passion of Awana to teach third- through sixth-grade boys and girls the truth of God’s Word and to train them to follow Christ in their daily lives.
Along the way, clubbers will discover the Bible’s response to questions like “How does God want me to live my life?” and memorized verses to back up these answers.
