We are involved in AWANA at our church. It's something both N and I did as kids. I actually attended the same church we do now. I heard the story of Jesus dying and raising again in the very room I teach kids the same story. If it wasn't for AWANA, I wouldn't have made the decision to accept Christ as my Savior at the age of 8. It holds a very dear place in my heart.
You can imagine how excited I was when Zoe became AWANA age. She's in the Cubbies group of 3-4 year olds. She passed her book last year and has been working on memorizing verses in her second book this year. Once she hits kindergarten she moves from Cubbies to Sparks, which is where I am. Since January she's been counting down the patches until she's a Sparkie. It started with 5 and we were finally down to 1 patch left.
Someone got that patch last night.
She is beyond thrilled. Next week is move up night, so she'll get to play games with us. The whole way home she was planning what games we are going to play.
I think she may have a future as a Sparkies Director too!
