AWANA Fun

At church the kids are involved in the Awana program. Awana is a program that is designed for kids ages from 18 mos. through Sr. in high school to lean God's word and hide it in the hearts. The Awana key verse in 2 Timothe 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a woker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Over the course of the whole program the kids will learn thousands of verses. If the kids complete the whole program they can receive some pretty significant college scholarships to just about any college. They don't have to be Christian schools.
They don't just go and memorize the whole time, they play some really fun games, have a little devotion and music.
I help teach the Jr. High class with Shelly Kimball.
Below are pictures of game time. They get very into all the games. Usually they play capture the flag. Not quite the games you would expect to play "in" church. As you can see our church is not very big so playing some of these games can prove to be somewhat difficult.

I cannot believe that Than has a smile on his face.

I'm thankful for the smile he has but that wasn't the look i was going for. He holds his mouth in the funniest way while walking with the beanbag.
I notices at game practice that Dani does the same thing. Hopefully I will be able to get her on film!
