Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15
Awana Clubs at Edgewood enables us to partner with families in growing spiritually strong kids and raising a generation for Christ. At Awana, our leaders and volunteers will have the opportunity to share the gospel with children from preschool through high school, helping them cultivating a faith that lasts, and is centered on knowing, loving, and serving Christ. It is our desire to reinforce the gospel in each child’s life and deepen their understanding of biblical truths by learning God’s Word.
Each week at Awana consists of large group time, small group time, and game time.
Kids of all ages gather together for worship, announcements, fellowship, and snack.
Relationships and belonging begin in small groups as kids huddle up with a consistent leader from week to week to discuss Bible lessons, ask and answer important questions, work on memory verses, pray together and work in handbooks.
Awana Games are a team-building activity that helps foster fun and gives space for relational discipleship in the midst of the evening.
We have age based groups for children of all ages. From preschoolers through high school, there is an Awana Club for your child!
We use the English Standard Version as our Bible translation for all Awana age groups. We believe the ESV is a helpful and faithful resource as our kids memorize Scripture and learn more about God's Word. We will have copies of the ESV for all age groups to use during small group time. If you already have an ESV we encourage you to send it with your child each week to Awana. If you do not have a copy of the ESV I would be happy to provide each household with one.
Our Awana Clubs meet every Sunday evening from 4-6pm (barring any holidays and inclement weather). We roughly follow the traditional school calendar and meet from early September to mid May.
We want parents to partner with us in the discipleship process. The first thing we ask is that you commit to having your kids present at Awana each Sunday. We already have only a limited number of weeks with your children so each week missed is a week where they are missing the reenforcement of the gospel truths and bible verses we are learning.
Secondly, we ask that you try to spend at least 20 minutes each week reviewing bible lessons and memory verses with your children. The verses help to reenforce the truths that are being taught in each bible lesson. Children will then have the opportunity to quote their memorized verses when they come to Awana Clubs. If your child has not memorized their verse, that’s ok! We welcome them to come and dive into Scripture with us.
