AWANA Preregistration September 5, 2007

AWANA is returning for the new school year to North Valley Baptist Church of Red Bluff, A Family LIfe Fellowship. Preregistration will take place on Sept. 5 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the church, 345 David Ave., Red Bluff, according to Richard Kent, Commander. Children may also sign up on any Wednesday evening after the program is in session.
AWANA starts on September 12.
Each session runs from 6 to 8 p.m. and is designed for children ages three years through eighth grade. There is no registration fee. The evening includes three segments: handbook time, game time, and council time. Songs, testimonies and awards are given during the latter. Three- and four-year olds “Cubbies” are directed by Beth Benner; “Sparks” - third to fifth grade are directed by Nancy Lamberson. Other directors are Mira Sisco, Tom Moulton and Rebecca Wanker. Each group also has volunteer helpers.
AWANA is an acronym for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed, taken from Second Timothy 2:15. It is an international, non-denominational Bible-centered youth ministry to reach youth with the gospel of Christ, and train them to serve him, according to Pastor David Lamberson.
