Awana stands for “Approved workmen are not ashamed.” This acronym is based on 2 Timothy 2:15 – “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” (NIV)

Nightly Activities:

Snack - Clubbers
have a time of fellowship with leaders and other kids while having a light snack during the nightly program.

Handbook time - Clubbers
recite the sections or verses of their handbooks they have
memorized since the previous club meeting. They will be in small groups reciting verses to a “listener”.

Council Time - Clubbers hear
Bible stories, learn life lessons, and
are presented the Gospel.

Game Time - Clubbers play
organized games while learning
discipline, team cooperation, and
good sportsmanship.

AWANA Store:

AWANA store is held periodically where clubbers are able to “spend” earned bucks to purchase toys, snacks, and other fun items. They earn AWANA bucks during the year by attending, being in uniform, having their handbook & Bible, saying handbook sections, or bringing a friend who is new to the AWANA Clubs.

General Rules:

Be on time; Be in uniform; Be obedient
Bring handbook and Bible
Come prepared to say verses or sections from handbook
Say all section parts, in one continuous recitation, word
perfect (only two helps consisting of three words or less each are allowed per section)
Children need to complete sections, verses each club night
Clubbers must wear tennis or athletic shoes and socks. Bare
feet or open-toed shoes are not allowed. (Crocs, flip-flops,
sandals, or boots pose a safety hazard during Game Time)

Discipline:

Discipline is the process of
teaching acceptable behavior
and self control.
We use the following 3 count
AWANA discipline model for
problems arising on the same
club meeting night:
1. Verbal counseling about
conduct by leader or director.
2. Child will be counseled by
commander about conduct.
3. Two leaders will report
child's behavior to parents.
Your child will be suspended for the next club meeting and be
welcomed back again when they can behave according to club
rules and expectations.

Transportation:

Parents please arrange transportation of clubbers and carpooling in advance to ensure the safety and timely arrival of clubbers at FBCR AWANA Clubs.

How you can support the AWANA clubs:

Volunteer to serve. Even occasionally listening to sections will bless you and the others in your child's club.
Pray for the AWANA clubs for the children and the workers.
Help make sure your clubber is in the proper uniform.
Learn scripture along with your child.
Remind child to use restroom before club and leave the gum, candy, and toys at home.
Take a few minutes every day to help your clubber study and recite the verses from their book.
Share your personal understanding and
insights with your children on a
level that is unique to your
relationship with them.

Fees & Dues:

Please do not allow fees or dues keep your child from attending.
Scholarships are
available to those who
need help.
Fees and dues offset costs for uniforms, books, awards, supplies, and AWANA Store.

Sick Policy:

Please ensure that your child is not ill prior to attending
AWANA club night. We want to keep others healthy!

Weather Policy:

In case of a severe weather advisory for our area, all church evening activities will be cancelled. Other
cancellations will be determined by church leadership and an announcement will be sent via email, phone, text or posted on our children’s ministry church website www.firstbaptistrockville.org. Please contact Armal Porodini at 240.461.1043 for any questions or any
other concerns.
