If your child has worked through the starter booklet and has a uniform, please have them attend in full uniform (buttoned-up for Cubbies and Sparks).
Your child should come each night with appropriate shoes for playing games (no flips, slides or Crocs).
Cubbies, Sparks and Truth in Training use their handbooks each Wednesday night without exception.

There will be a cost for handbooks and uniforms.
Please pray for Awana leadership as they work with our children throughout the year to memorize scripture.
