Awana

[Novatom]

I do Awana and I was wondering how many people here do Awana. I know a few people here do.

[Emma]

Not me, but I've gone to my friends and it is fun. I'll bet that lots of others do, though.

[Ashley]

I used to, and it was awesome

[RyanCummings]

I am currently in the High School club for it, Journey. I did Cubbies, T&T, and Trek as well in Awana.

[Novatom]

I'm in book 1 of Trek. I just started (Trek) a week ago. I have done Awana since Cubbies.

[Okie]

I do Awana currently, I'm in book 2 of Trek and I have done Awana since T&T
Did anyone else get the new Trek curriculum this year?

[Connie G.]

Same here, 'cept I started in the last year of Sparkies and did all three books that year. I'm also in the first book of Trek.

[Emma]

Trek? What is that?

[Okie]

It's the Junior high division.

[HomeschoolCowgirl]

I'm in the 1st year of Journey (Senior High division), waiting until next year when I can be an LIT!

[Novatom]

What's LIT?

I just finished Trek 1 on Wednesday. What day of the week does everyone have their Awana?

[HomeschoolCowgirl]

Ours is Wednesday too. LIT is Leader In Training, or a Journey kid (10th grade at least) who is being a leader to kids in 6th grade or younger.

Our church does Cubbies through Trek. I help out in Sparks, (my favorite age range) and we run between 15 and 20. The nice thing is that our church has an old self-contained school/gymnasium building that we bought years ago. We use that for AWANA. Speaking of which, it's Pilgrim and Indian Night tomorrow!

[HomeschoolCowgirl]

My little brothers dressed up as Indians. They were so cute! There were NO brown T-shirts to be found. Anywhere. So we dyed their white ones brown, glued on some home-made fringe, made headbands with feathers out of fringe-material, and they were good to go. Ever since my youngest brother (3) has been saying "How!" to people . I didn't dress up as no one else from 6th grade up does, and I've had experience being the ONLY ONE who went all-out on dress up night... to find out no one else had costumes on. But it's fun to see all the costumes! TOJ, does your church's AWANA have Patriotic theme night too?

*Wakko doesn't even know what AWANA is*
*Wakko hides*

[The Old Judge]

I do not believe we have that, since this is my first year working in AWANA. (And is actually the first year for about half our crew, and our director.) The next themed night we have is "Milk and Cookies/Wrap a Leader" on December 10.

We are AWANA cubbies, we're happy all day long...

At least, I think that's how that song went.

I did AWANA all the way up to T&T but then the church merged with another and they stopped doing it. I did it from my first year I was old enough to start Sparks. Of course, the year I was too old for Cubbies was the year they introduced to for our church. Of course.

Just curious, but does anyone know how old AWANA is?

[The Old Judge]

AWANA is 64 years old, having begun in 1950.

(As a parenthesis, our church has done it since 1976. So, our clubs are 38 years old.)

[shnoodlec.]

Ah, cool! I wonder how much it has changed since then.

[HomeschoolCowgirl]

@Shnoodlec: That IS how the song goes. My little brother has it on CD, and I have heard it umpteen billion times
@TOJ: Here's a pic of our RWB night, yes I am in that picture but it's 3 yrs old.
