Things you will want to know about the happenings at SRBC’s AWANA ministry.
Welcome Back!! Happy New Year Awana Families! 2023, It's a whole new year! We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas break and are ready to get back to club and studying God’s Word! Can you believe we are already halfway through this Awana year already? We are looking forward to the upcoming year and all that we will learn about God’s Word alongside your children. Let’s get fired up for 2023 and make it an awesome year!
Thank you for recognizing the importance of Awana and having your children attend this ministry. Please continue to work with them each week on their memory verses so that they can learn God’s awesome word. Thank you for allowing us to teach your child about Jesus each week through songs, Bible verses, and games. They are such a blessing to us.
Please have your child bring their Bible each week. Clubbers earn points by: Attending: club, Church, and Sunday School.
BRINGING Bible, Handbook, dues, water bottle.
PARTICIPATING IN games, & theme nights.
WEARING their uniform, & sneakers.
PASSING Sections in my start booklet/finishing it and sections in my handbook and completing them.
They can spend their points they earn in the AWANA store.
Please help them with verses at home. We work with them each week but need the
extra help to succeed.
Parents you can help make Scripture memory simple, easy and fun.
Here are some suggestions:
- Make a fun tune or hand motions for the memory verses.
- Trace a verse in shaving cream.
- Make flash cards, with verses on one side and Scripture references on the other. Lots of colorful markers and paper can make the task a breeze. Ask your child to draw a picture of what the verse means alongside the verse.

FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHTS
Winter’s here. Should schools cancel, weather turns bad, or the Covid-19 prohibits us from safely gathering on a Wednesday, PLEASE check email after 3 pm, call the office (937) 252-5311 and/or check Channel 2 or 7 for Church cancellations to find out if we’re still having Awana & Bible study.
Please, if you feel conditions are unsafe do not take any unnecessary chances. The safety of our clubbers and their families is our 1st priority!
We look forward to spring and all it has to bring. We know that boots are a must right now in the snow and muddy days that are coming. We encourage you to send running shoes for your clubber, so they are better able to play during game time.
We request children be kept at home after experiencing or receiving treatment for the following symptoms:
• Fever of 99.9 degrees or above. Child needs to be fever free for 72 hours without medication.
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• New loss of taste or smell
To help us provide a healthy environment for our children and volunteers, we ask that you keep your child at home when any of the following symptoms have occurred within the last 24 hours:
• Illness that prevents your child from comfortably participating in program activities.
• Runny nose with colored discharge (green or yellow) accompanied by a fever.
• Vomiting and/or diarrhea; symptom free for
24 hours.
• Any communicable disease.
• Sore Throat.
• Streptococcal pharyngitis (“strep throat”) until 24 hours after treatment has
been initiated.
• Croup, excessive coughing, chest congestion or sneezing.
• Childhood diseases (chicken pox, mumps, etc.).
• Drainage or redness that could possibly be considered conjunctivitis (“pink eye”).
• Head lice or nits within the past 24 hours.
• Questionable skin rash (that is contagious).
Localized rashes such as prickly heat, eczema, and diaper rash are not contagious.
If your child is being treated with antibiotics, he/she should have received treatment for a minimum of 24 hours before attending Awana or any Children’s Ministry event.
We understand that, in some cases, illness may present themselves suddenly. If a child shows signs of illness (above symptoms), a parent, or guardian will be contacted immediately so that you may take your child home to care for them.
