 Announcing
… AWANA is here at TBC!!
AWANA
is a Bible-based, Christ-centered program for children. The word
AWANA stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed and comes
from the Bible verse, II Timothy 2:15: "Study to show thyself
approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth."
The
goal of AWANA is to reach boys and girls with the gospel of Christ,
and to train them to serve Him. It is a great honor to serve God in
this way and to lead children to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
The
Triad Baptist Church AWANA program runs from September through May
and we meet on Sunday nights from 5:45 PM to 7:15 PM.
We
create a fun and exciting atmosphere to learn in by dividing our
meetings into three segments:
 t
Handbook Time: Small group interaction and completion of
Bible-based lessons
t
Game Time: Age-appropriate games on the AWANA game circle
t
Council Time: Singing, Bible teaching, the gospel message and
award presentations
Cubbies: Age 3 to Pre-K
In
Cubbies, your child will be involved in activities that encourage
real learning. The Cubbie program provides a solid foundation for
faith, based on God's Word. And it's fun, too! Cubbies participate
in prayer and a Bible story, activity sheets, have visits from
puppets, make crafts, sing songs, and play non-competitive games.
The
Cubbies earn patches for their uniform by completing Bear Hugs.
Each Bear Hug includes Scripture memorization and
parent-child activities. The activities in club meetings each week
are coordinated with the Bible truths he or she learns at home.
Different learning levels offer options that keep learning exciting
and fun!
Throughout the year, the Cubbies learn the gospel using two letters
and two key verses:
"A" Romans 3:23 "... All have sinned, and come
short of the glory of God ..."
"C" Romans 5:8 "While we were yet sinners, Christ died
for us"
It is
our goal is that Cubbies learn the gospel clearly, with hopes that
they take it with them through the rest of their lives.
Sparkies: Grades K-2
 SPARKS is the AWANA club designed for children in
Kindergarten through second grade and builds on the material taught
in the preschool club, Cubbies. The aim of the program is to
take this age group a step deeper into God’s Word, while giving unsaved boys and girls opportunities to hear the
gospel and come to faith in Jesus Christ.
Sparky,
the friendly firefly, encourages boys and girls to learn verses and
complete handbook assignments.
Each
handbook is firmly grounded in Scripture and features:
t
Basic truths about God, Jesus Christ, salvation and the Bible
t
Increased emphasis on Scripture memory, focusing on salvation and
key Christian doctrine
t
Clear and consistent presentation of the gospel message
Truth
& Training (T&T): Grades 3-5
All 3rd
through 5th graders are AWANA T&T clubbers. Our goal is to teach
these older children the truth of God's Word and train them to serve
Him in their daily lives.
Each
clubber begins with the Start Zone booklet. We want them to know
what it means to trust Christ as their Lord
and Savior so it explains salvation to the children on their first
night at club.
God's
Word says, "Even a child is known by his doings" (Proverbs 20:11).
We believe that once a clubber has trusted Jesus Christ as their
Savior, he or she is able to serve Christ immediately. The handbooks
include requirements that focus on serving others that help them
develop this attitude.
Once a
clubber completes the Start Zone Booklet, he or she is eligible to
purchase the first handbook from The Ultimate Adventure Series.
During their T&T experience, clubbers will progress through three
handbooks at their own pace.
Clubbers receive an award badge with places to mark the completion
of each handbook segment. In addition to these regular sections,
there are extra-credit sections (with special awards) throughout the
handbooks. Clubbers will also receive a book completion patch to
wear on their uniforms as each is completed.
