The club night is split up into 3 sections:
GAME TIME: consists of a short flag ceremony and fast paced Awana games. Our game time is a unique time to learn Christian sportsmanship and respect for others.
HANDBOOK TIME: consists of clubbers saying “sections” in their handbooks that have been studied at home and what the Bible verses mean and how they apply to their every day lives. A section must be said to a leader in one setting with no more than two helps.
COUNCIL TIME: consists of songs, sharing, a brief Bible lesson that clubbers can relate to and an award presentation time for awards earned that night.
AWARDS: Clubbers receive a Membership Card upon completion of the Entrance Booklet. At that time, a handbook and uniform may be purchased. Handbook Section Awards are earned by proceeding through the books. Club Attendance Awards are earned by attending regularly with no more than two *unexcused absence per quarter. Sunday School Awards are earned by attending **Sunday School on a regular basis with no more than two unexcused absences per semester. Book awards are earned by completing the requirements in each book & completing the Club Attendace Awards. *(An excused absence is anything beyond the control of the clubber.)
**If your family does not attend Sunday School or church, we would like to invite you to attend First Baptist. Our Sunday morning worship service is at 10:15am with Sunday School classes for all ages — newborns through adult starting at 9:00am. You will find a class just for you, teachers who care and exciting lessons from God’s Word.
HANDBOOKS: A Club Handbook may be purchased after the club entrance booklet has been completed. Each club has a series of books that the clubbers work through. The age & grade of your child will determine which club & book they will be in. Prices for the handbooks may be found on the back side of this manuel.
UNIFORMS: A uniform may be purchased after the club entrance booklet has been completed. A complete uniform should be worn to every club function unless it is a special dress-up night. No awards will be given if the clubber is not in complete uniform that evening. (Those awards will be kept in reserve until the clubber is in uniform) Uniforms should be kept in good condition with rank and bars displayed correctly. Uniform inspections may be held during the club year.
We do have some *used uniforms available. These will be sold on a first come basis. Uniforms clubbers are no longer using may be turned in for credit towards a new uniform. (cost breakdown on the back)
