Our Club News – November 2024
Volume 3, Issue 1- Things you will want to know
Hello Awana Families,
November has arrived. The temperatures are up and down, and some trees are holding on to their leaves while others have sent them blowing in the wind, guess fall is here! 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. Let’s not only notice but Thank God for all he’s created and blessed us with. October was a busy month. We have been busy studying, learning bible verses, playing cool games, and earning points for the store. 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!
EACH WEEK?
Bible, Uniform, Sneakers, Dues (50¢ per wk.), Handbook with at least one section ready, bonus: theme night participation, monthly newsletter questions!
Dress for Success When deciding what to wear to Club. Remember games may include running, sitting, crawling, rolling, jumping, crab-walking, or lying on the floor. For safety, sneakers are required to participate in Game Time.
THIS MONTH WE’RE DOING OUR TWO
ANNUAL FALL OUTREACH PROJECTS
- The first is a food drive to help the needy in our community. All non-perishable food items brought in will go into SRBC’s pantry. And then be distributed to local families in need. Let’s help fill the shelves with canned meats, Noodles, cereal, and other non-perishable items. Give with a heart of thankfulness for all God has provided for you!
- Secondly, we’re participating in the “shoebox” project again this holiday season, helping Samaritan’s Purse deliver these donated items to needy children around the world. Shoeboxes will be due soon! So, what are you waiting for? Start packing those shoe boxes and bring in your food donations! We know the Lord will honor your efforts as you show His love to those in our community AND those around the world! (Empty shoe boxes needing to be filled are located in the back of the Sanctuary).
Don’t have a church home? we welcome your family to worship with us. Sunday services are at 10:30 am & 7 pm. Children’s church for preschool through 6th grade during the 10:30 am service. Sunday school for all ages begins at 9:15 a.m. We hope you will join us! we invite you to come as a visitor and leave as a friend.
