What Are Theme Nights?
We like to have some fun and so each Wednesday night has a theme. In the past we have had: duct tape night where your child brings their custom made duct tape attire or accessory; face paint night, where kids come with their faces painted!. Click here for the current year theme night schedule.
How Can I Help?
We encourage parents to get involved in helping at AWANA! There are many opportunities available to match up to the gift you have, including listeners, secretaries, game leaders and club leaders and helpers. Please prayerfully consider how you can help and then contact us for more information. Training is provided.
What is the "Grand Prix"?
Each year Sparks and T&T clubbers come together with their families and race their cars! And it is more than just building a race car and watching it run down the track. It helps to build a bond between kids and their parents as they work together to design the best car ever. And everyone who attends will hear the good news that God loves them and sent His Son to rescue them from sin.
