AWANA: Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed – 2 Timothy 2:15
November has arrived. The air is starting to cool off a bit, and the leaves are changing colors. This time of year, is great for having fun at Awana, enjoying time outdoors playing in the leaves, and taking time to notice all God’s blessings. In the midst of change and uncertainty October was a busy month. We have been busy studying, learning bible verses, playing cool games, wearing masks, and sanitizing our hands. Our hearts are bursting with joy for what your clubbers have accomplished of late. Many of the clubbers have completed their start zones and moved into their regular handbooks earning them their very first uniform.
Congratulations to all, what an awesome job, keep up the Great work!
As Thanksgiving approaches, let’s take time to remember and thank God for our many blessings, and also remember those who may be struggling right now. We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to all the people who come together each week to make Awana happen! We appreciate each one of you,
you rock!
