Awana clubs are an outreach and discipleship tool. Children who attend play games, memorize Bible verses, and listen to Bible lessons. Leaders receive good things, too, not the least of which is hearing young ones learn to hide God's Word in their hearts. Last year more than 90 people attended SBC's first end of the year Awana Potluck and Awards Celebration. Help of all sorts is needed to make this year's Awana program bigger and better. There are many ways to help.

Pray! Pray for children to come to faith in God and learn how to follow Jesus everyday. God works powerfully when His people pray.

Give! Parents pay for their children's uniforms and books. SBC offers scholarships for children whose parents can't afford these items.

Serve! The only prerequisite is a passion for Christ's work. It is not necessary to "like" working with children or teaching. Lots of positions are available for a variety of talents, temperaments and gifts. Those interested need to fill out an application and commit to being at SBC most Tuesday evenings to help serve by:

-coordinating leaders to serve Christ effectively as a director; or

-studying Bible verses with children as a leader; or

-assisting directors and leaders by recording their achievements as their secretary; or

-teaching children through Bible crafts and lessons; or

-ministering to parents as a greeter and/or substitute leader and more.
