AWANA @ Aldersgate   "Because Kids Matter to God"


Aldersgate United Methodist Church is pleased to offer an AWANA Clubs program. We appreciate the opportunity to share God's word with the children of our community. You and your family are invited to join us.

The goal of AWANA is to reach children with the gospel of Jesus Christ and to train them to serve Him. Additionally, our goal at Aldersgate is to provide a structured, safe environment where your child can learn about Jesus, memorize God's word, meet new friends, play games, learn responsibility, and have fun.

AWANA is an acronym from the first letters of the phrase, "Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed," which is taken from the Bible verse 2 Timothy 2:15: "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman who needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth."
 
Our AWANA clubs are:
Cubbies  -  3 & 4 year olds
Sparks  -  K - 2nd grade
T & T  -  3rd - 6th grade

Our Schedule
Tuesday evenings 6:10 - 8:00pm, beginning September 6, 2011
Kick-off Barbeque, August 30
Awards Night
(We will be following the Chico School District Calendar - if school is not in session there will be no AWANA meetings.)
