Remembering Awana Recap!

The Remembering Awana Contest officially ended November 9th and the winner was announced on the 12th. Congratulations to Jocelyn Swaan for winning the draw for the new camera! A big thank you to everyone who joined us for our Remembering Awana Contest on Facebook! It was so fun to see all the pictures and hear some of the stories of Awana throughout the years.

A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words

We read testimonies of how serving at Awana has been a blessing in people's lives and how children who have grown up in Awana have gone on to serve in leadership, giving back what they had been given. We saw the joy in kid's eyes as they received awards and recognition. We smiled at the pictures of crazy theme nights and games where children get a chance to have fun and run around in a safe environment. We loved seeing all the families involved together and the amazing dedication of parents teaching their kids. And most of all we loved the joy we could see shining from the faces of young children who have been given the greatest gift - the gospel message!

So THANK YOU. This contest wasn't so much about giving a prize to one person as it was about celebrating the prize we have all been given - the gift of salvation through Christ. What a blessing that God has used Awana to speak into the lives of so many! Let's keep sharing the Good News!
