One of the most important things we can help our kids do is hide Gods word in their hearts and learn to apply its truths. AWANA is that type of program that combines basic truths, scripture AUGUST 11, 2013 memory, and lots of fun to help shape a childs biblical world view. Will you give of your time on Wednesday nights from 6-8pm to help a child establish these foundational truths? It doesnt take a rocket scientist, it just takes willing hands and a servants heart. Contact Lori Ford to volunteer with Puggles (2 year olds) or Cubbies (3s and 4s) or David Ford to volunteer with Sparks (k-2nd) or Truth in Training (3rd-5th).
