AWANA Program

[Stephanie Howard]

I would love to offer Awanas in my church, but we do not baptize by immersion. I grew up Baptist, was a Children's Minister in our previous church (Baptist), but I am now Lutheran.

That program (as I understand it) wouldn’t fly in a Primitive Baptist Church.

That is true in the Old School one I grew up in, the children were never separated from their parents... But put Progressive in front of it and you got to keep up with the Joneses... Brother Glen

Progressive has become a very dirty word for me.

Does your church have an AWANA program and what have YOU done to improve your program over the years.

I got a call last night asking me to give up my Director spot in Cubbies (2 years) and be Co-Commander for grades K- 2. I'd worked with Sparks for 3 or 4 years before switching to Cubbies.

We're switching to 2 time periods each week with the children only having game time once a month or every 3 weeks. Our AWANA program runs from 6:30 to 7:40, during prayer meeting.

Any suggestions or tips I can share when we have our leadership meeting a week from Saturday? I've attended 7 different AWANA sponsored trainings at least! We've only had 5 or 6 from our church attend except when we had a specific style training at our church and then only a handful attended. The old commander didn't even come!

BTW, we have a wonderful AWANA Missionary couple.

You take away game time and your interest will dwindle.

I wouldn't fly in a Primitive Baptist church either. I fly right by them though.

Many military bases - both CONUS and Overseas have AWANA!
I used to drive about 70 miles from Wildflecken to Frankfurt to take my son to AWANA!
