OUR CLUB NEWS – JANUARY 2025
Volume 5, Issue 1- Things you will want to know about the happenings at SRBC’s AWANA ministry.
Welcome back! We hope you had a wonderful Christmas break and are ready to dive back into Club and study God's Word. Can you believe we're already halfway through this Awana year? We're excited for the upcoming year and all that we'll learn about God's Word alongside your children. Let's Make 2025 Awesome!
Thank you for recognizing the importance of Awana and having your children attend this ministry. Your continued support means the world to us! We're grateful for the opportunity to teach your child about Jesus each week through songs, Bible verses, and games. They're a blessing to us, and we're honored to be a part of their spiritual journey.
Please have your child bring their Bible each week. Clubbers earn points by:
ATTENDING Club, Church, and Sunday School.
BRINGING: Bible, Handbook, dues, and water bottle.
PARTICIPATING IN: Games, & theme nights. Wearing: their uniform, & sneakers. PASSING: Sections in my start booklet/finishing it.
PASSING: 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 they 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 flashcards, 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.
May this month be filled with joy, love, and blessings for each of you! Have a blessed year!

Winter’s here. Should schools cancel, the weather turns bad. PLEASE check your 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!
and generosity!
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 with 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. The 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, illnesses 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.
