Wednesday, May 7th, 2008 was our church's AWANA Awards Night. We've are the Directors of Linworth Baptist Church's Sparks (K-2nd grade)club and we've been leaders in AWANA Sparks clubs for 15 years in 4 different churches. You might guess that we've seen a lot of Awards Nights! This one was very special to us however. You see, this year OUR children received some important awards. Learning scripture verses for AWANA has been a weekly event for our children for a combined 15 years. As a parent, it really means a lot when you see your kids using God's word as a lamp unto their feet and a light unto their path.
Luke, our 2nd grader, finished his final year in AWANA Sparks. He has completed all 3 sparks handbooks and therefore earned his Sparky Award. He also was one of two Sparks Clubbers to have finished all 3 handbook reviews and all 3 workbooks. This makes him a Super Sparky! He also spent 3 years in Cubbies and finished 3 handbooks there as well. He's now finished a total of SIX handbooks in AWANA Clubs!
Beth, our 6th grader, finished her final year in the AWANA Truth and Training Club (3rd - 6th grade). She has completed all 4 TandT handbooks and therefore earned her Timothy Award. She is a former winner of the Sparky Award and also finished two Cubbies Handbooks, so she has now finished NINE handbooks in AWANA.
