What is Awana?

On Friday evenings from 6:00 to 7:30pm, boys and girls enjoy playing games, memorizing Bible verses and learning Bible lessons.  They also earn awards for their hard work.  From Ages 3 to Grade 8, children and youth have fun while being taught the Word of God and His love for you and me.

Awana stands for “Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed”  This is taken from a Bible verse that says “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and one who correctly handles the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15
