New AWANA Club Begins at Adairsville Baptist

 

Adairsville Baptist Church is excited to announce that AWANA is beginning Sunday, September 12, 2010 at 5:45 p.m.  The program is open to toddlers from age 2 as of September 1st, through youth in the 6th grade.  Classes end each Sunday at 7:15 p.m.

AWANA is an acronym for "Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed," taken from 2 Peter 2:15.  The program is dedicated to helping churches and parents worldwide raise children to know, love, and serve Jesus Christ.  The five program principles are:

1.  AWANA is centered on the Gospel.

2.  Scripture memory is key.

3.  AWANA is exciting and fun.

4.  Children are trained to serve.

5.  AWANA is built on strong leadership.

On Sunday September 5th, from 4-8 p.m. the church will host a Church Picnic and AWANA Kick-off.  The community is invited to join us for hamburgers, hotdogs and lots of food, plus fun and games or everyone including inflatables and a water slide.  AWANA pre-registration will be held during the event.  The registration fees of $25 for young toddlers, and $30 for kindergarten-6th grade students will not be due until October 1, 2010.  Each student will receive an AWANA workbook and book bag, T-shirt, and program awards.  Scholarships are available for families in need and participants may call the church for more information, 770-773-3198.
