AWANA
There are AWANA Clubs for children from preschool through the sixth grade. Clubs meet each Wednesday evening from 6:30 p.m. until 8 p.m.

AWANA is a children’s ministry with one goal: to reach boys and girls with the gospel of Christ, then to train them to serve Him. The word AWANA stands for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed. It is taken from 2 Timothy 2:15, “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

During a typical meeting, the children participate in three sessions. First there is handbook time. The children work in books, memorized God’s Word, and sometimes have special projects. They earn patches and ribbons as they learn. Second, there is a time of fellowship, singing, and a message from the Bible. Third, there’s Game Time! Throughout the year there are also special events such as the AWANA Grand Prix, Sparks Regatta, and the AWANA Games/Sparks-A-Rama.

The three clubs at Albany Baptist are: AWANA Cubbies (3 to 5 year olds), AWANA Sparks (kindergarten through second grade), and Truth and Training (third through sixth grade).
