What is Awana?

Awana is a weekly youth discipleship program designed to engage kids in learning and loving God’s Word while encouraging them to serve others. Awana is an acronym which stands for Approved Workman Are Not Ashamed from 2 Timothy 2:15. Awana stands as one of the fastest growing youth organizations and provides a local church sponsored program for boys and girls. North Winona Baptist Church offers AWANA for children age 3 (who are potty trained) – 6 grade.

When does Awana begin?

Awana runs on Sunday evenings from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.

What will my child do in Awana?

Each week, your child will be greeted by one of our friendly leaders who love sharing the love of Jesus with kids. After that, each week is split up into 4 different sections:

• Opening Rally - Your child will gather together with everyone for opening worship and learn about missions from around the world.

• Game Time – Your child will stay active enjoying team-building Awana games as well as other fun, dynamic games.

• Lesson Time – Your child will hear a lesson from God’s Word from one of our leaders that corresponds to the verse and reading they have been doing during handbook time.

• Handbook Time – Your child will have an opportunity to learn and share a memory verse, His Stories (a review of the main stories of the Bible), as well as other activities they have been working on with an Awana leader.
