AWANA

Awana

Returns August 23, 2023
Wednesdays 5:30-7:30pm
Children age 3 (as of September 1st) - 5th grade

Awana is a discipleship tool Oakwood uses to teach our children about God’s love and how to hide His Word in their hearts. Children enjoy different rotations during their night at Awana. They start their night with dinner and a lesson in large group, enjoy various activities, and end the night in their classrooms, memorizing and understanding God’s Word.

Each age group moves through their book together, ensuring that the kids who may need extra help get the help they need. Our program adapts to each child’s needs… from our Mark 9 Special Needs curriculum, to modified verses, to extra credit! Our interactive program gets kids moving and learning about God’s Word in a hands-on way.

We cannot do this without our volunteers and the help of parents. Steadfast volunteers help us keep children off a wait list, so that every child who wants to come can experience this amazing discipleship program.

Our list of children only gets bigger as the year moves on, so we would LOVE an opportunity to speak to you about volunteering! Please contact Laura Wolf at laura.wolf@oakwoodnb.com for Preschool or Rachel Woelfel at rachel.woelfel@oakwoodnb.com for Kindergarten-5th grade.
Cost: $25 per child for the first two children, $10 per each additional child for each school year.  Funds will provide handbooks and a T-shirt or vest.  
Parents/Guardians
We need at least one adult from each household to serve two evenings over the course of the Awana year (September-May).
These parents will be our VIPs (Very Important Parents)! Our VIPs will serve wherever the need is highest for that particular night. No training will be necessary; all parents must complete a background check and screening form before serving.
At the end of the form to register your children, you will be prompted to pick two dates to serve as a VIP. Our VIPs will be in addition to the 200 weekly leaders we need to make this ministry happen!
