2015 - 2016 AWANA HANDBOOK LEADING KIDS TO KNOW, LOVE
2015 - 2016 AWANA HANDBOOK LEADING KIDS TO KNOW, LOVE & SERVE CHRIST! Calvary Baptist Church 1405 Bolling Road, P. O. Box 383 Roanoke Rapids, NC 27870 252-537-9828 [email protected] www.cbcrr.org WELCOME TO AWANA!! Dear AWANA Parents: We are delighted that your child(ren) will be joining our AWANA Mission Club at Calvary Baptist Church! The name AWANA is an acrostic which stands for: Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed. It’s taken from the Bible passage found in II Timothy 2:15. You will find that AWANA provides a special place for preschoolers, children and youth to make new friends, play exciting games, have opportunities to learn and memorize God’s Word, learn to apply that scripture to their life by becoming involved in missions, and receive awards as encouragement for their efforts. Awana helps churches and parents work together to develop spiritually strong children and youth who faithfully follow Jesus Christ. Our programs offer a proven approach for evangelizing and discipling kids in the church and community. As a ministry leader for over 60 years, Awana is making an impact. A recent national survey found Awana to be as important to our alumni's spiritual foundation as all other church activities combined. Among alumni who participated in our programs for at least six years, 92.7 percent still attend church at least weekly as adults! Each week, more than 1.5 million kids ages 2 to 18 participate in Awana. Over 12,000 churches in the U.S. and nearly 13,000 internationally run Awana programs that change young lives through biblical truth. HOW CAN A PARENT BE INVOLVED? The success of your clubber’s AWANA year depends greatly on the involvement of you, the parent. Here are some ideas to get you thinking about ways to help your child have a super club year: Help your clubber pass 2 sections each week, working to help him or her understand and apply each memory verse. Initial each section that your child completes before he shows it to his teachers. Read every flyer brought home by your child…they are important! Volunteer to be an AWANA listener—we need help listening to all the sections the children have worked so hard to prepare each week. Attend special events in which your child is involved. Encourage your child in their efforts. Help them to understand the importance of memorizing scripture and in becoming involved in mission activity. Our desire is that AWANA at Calvary Baptist Church continue to be a growing experience for each child and adult. In His Service, Randy Martin, Pastor C.H. Powell & Justin Fender, Awana Co-Commanders Page 1 AWANA CLUB EXPECTIONS * All children, infants through grade 6, must be checked in and out by an adult. Check-in/ check-out forms for preschoolers are located in the preschool department and check-in/ check-out forms for Kindergarten—Grade 6 are located in the fellowship hall. Grades 7— 12 can sign themselves in and out. They will be released to leave the church only after permission is given to them by an adult Awana leader. * Parents must completely fill out and sign an Awana Registration Form. Additional permission forms will need to be signed in order for your child to leave the church grounds for any activities or trips. You will receive information and a permission form prior to the event. If a child does not have transportation and must ride the church van either a parent or guardian must come to the church to fill out a permission form for van transportation at the beginning of each church year (September—August) prior to the first time a child rides the van. If it is not possible for you to attend the first Awana meeting that your child attends you may stop by the church office Monday— Friday, 8:30 a.m.—4 p.m. Children that do not have a current signed permission form will not be allowed to ride the vans to protect our van drivers and adult riders. * All clubbers should bring their Bibles and handbooks to club meetings. We will use them. * Dues of 50 cents will be collected each week. Dues help pay the cost of awards, etc. and also teaches students to give willingly, with a cheerful heart, to the Lord. * Your child will be receiving a very simple snack consisting of cookies and water. A more elaborate snack will be served only on special occasions. Please be sure that you list any food allergies on your child’s registration form. * We require that each child, teen and adult wear tennis shoes and shorts or pants that may help protect them from injuries during game time. (Please see dress code.) * All AWANA leaders and staff must be respected and obeyed. All clubbers are expected to take part in the entire club program. (This includes Game Time.) * When in hallways, clubbers are to walk without talking to and from events. Due to safety concerns, there is to be no running except during game time. * Handbooks are given to a clubber after the entrance booklet has been completed. If handbooks are lost, clubbers must purchase a replacement. The cost is $10.00 for each book. * Please do not arrive at Club prior to 6:20 pm. Leaders use this time to prepare their room for the night’s session. * All students should be picked up by an adult at 8:00 pm. If group time is running a little late please be patient and wait until the Commander has completed announcements and prayed with the children before they are released. Page 2 September 2015—August 2016 (Yellow Form must be turned in to the office. Page 3 Discipline The word Discipline has the same root meaning as disciple, which means learner or follower. This root meaning implies a leader-follower relationship in which the follower learns proper conduct. The purpose of discipline is to teach acceptable behavior, not merely a set of rules. To discipline is to teach or mold, resulting in a joyful, well-adjusted individual. On a different scale, discipline results in an organized, smoothrunning Awana Club and in Awana, discipline is positive. Instead of emphasizing punishment for misbehavior, positive discipline encourages good behavior through rewards (bucks or game points). Clubbers quickly learn that conforming to club standards is in their best interest. For example, awarding points to the Game Time team that lined up the quickest encourages other teams to line up quickly as well. We want each club night to be a good and positive experience for all clubbers. We cannot, however, allow unacceptable behavior to disrupt club activities for others. At times, it may be necessary for the parent to become involved in assisting club leaders in bringing about appropriate behavior. Please be prepared to support AWANA leaders in their positive discipline efforts. The Five Count System will be used to quiet the entire group of clubbers. By the time the leader counts and gets to 5, all clubbers and leaders are expected to be still, quiet, and looking directly at the leader who is in charge. The Three Count System is used on an individual basis. If a clubber continues to deliberately misbehave throughout the night, the director of the club will give him/her a “one count”. This is basically a warning. If the clubber continues to misbehave during the same club night, the director will give him/her a “two count”. At this point either the director or commander will pull the clubber aside and discuss the matter. If a clubber misbehaves a third time, the director will meet with the clubber’s parents and the clubber will be put on a suspension for at least one week. This rule also applies while children are being transported to and from church on church provided transportation. Visitor Guidelines 1. All visitors must attend their age-appropriate class. 2. Information must be given at check in by the parents of the child that brought the friend so a permission form can be sent home with the child to be filled out. 3. Visiting students must have an Awana registration/transportation form completely filled out and signed by a parent before riding church transportation. Parents may bring their child to church, fill out the forms, and then the child will be allowed to ride home on vans. Awana Rewards Card Awana students have the opportunity to earn bucks to spend in the Awana stores. Bucks will not be given to the children but an Awana Rewards Card will be kept by their teacher who will total their bucks each week. Students have the opportunity to earn bucks by doing the following: One Buck for each: Attendance, Bringing Dues, Bringing Bible, Wearing Tennis Shoes, Bringing a Friend, Participating in the Nightly Theme, Parental Signature in Handbooks Five Bucks: For Each Scripture Verse Recited at each Awana Meeting Ten Bucks: For Each Handbook Section Completed at each Awana Meeting Please note: If your child can not possibly bring an item on the service project theme nights they may write a note or draw a picture of the item in order to let their teachers know that they remembered the project and the buck for the theme night will be given to the child. Page 4 Dress Code “I also want women to dress modestly, with decency.” 1 Timothy 2:9a In an effort to provide the greatest opportunity to worship our Lord, we have created an Awana dress code. We ask you as parents and leaders to help us with the following dress code that will be strictly enforced. During our active game times we would not want any student or adult to be embarrassed due to unwanted exposure. T-shirts will be available for students and adults to wear if they are dressed inappropriately. Appropriate Awana Dress 1) Blouses, tops and shirts shall have no exposed shoulders, chests or midriffs. Tank tops or spaghetti straps are unsuitable for church; however, sleeveless blouses are acceptable. 2) Slacks, jeans or shorts (finger tip length only) should be worn. Due to game time no dresses or skirts should be worn to Awana. 3) Pants should fit appropriately at or near the waist. Wearing pants far below the waist and covering up with large shirts is unacceptable. No underwear should be seen. 4) Logos and sayings on clothing should be appropriate for church settings. 5) Hats shall not be worn in the building. 6) Tennis shoes must be worn to every Awana meeting. Inappropriate Awana Dress Poor Health Policy We do not like it when an illness prevents a child from coming to church but in order to protect all of our children, we ask that you keep your child home if they have an illness that involves; fever, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, any contagious disease, open sores or any questionable illness. If a child becomes sick while at church the parent will be contacted to pick up the child. The child will be taken to the office until you arrive and every precaution will be taken to make the child as comfortable as possible. (Please be sure your child is well before returning to church.) General Guidelines * Children & youth are to remain inside the church until an adult signs them out or until they are given permission to leave. * The kitchen is off limits to children and youth unless accompanied by an adult or directed by an adult. * The phone is to be used only with permission. * At least two adults will accompany children on all activities. * Church property should be respected at all times. Examples: You should not sit on tables or stand on chairs, sit on vanities, or stand on commodes in the bathrooms. Inclement Weather There will be no Awana on nights that Roanoke Rapids City Schools are closed or released early due to weather conditions. Page 5 4 & 5 YEAR OLD CUBBIES (Cubbies must be 4 by September 1) 4 and 5 year olds have a special place in our Awana program! While they are not quite ready for all the activities older clubbers will participate in, their time each Wednesday night will be equally exciting! Cubbies will work through a handbook, memorizing age appropriate scripture each week. They will also participate in handson mission projects, hear mission stories from around the world and participate in an exciting, ageappropriate game, craft or activity! Cubbie classrooms are located in the Preschool Department. PASSING A CUBBIE SECTION 1. At home the Cubbie learns and recites each section to a parent or completes the required activity with Mom or Dad. 2. The parent’s signature indicates that work has been completed. Please be sure to sign your child’s book before club. 3. At club the clubber again recites each section to a Cubbies leader. 4. The leader’s signature certifies that the section has been satisfactorily passed. 5. Cubbies will be working together as a group to complete their handbook. Cubbie leaders and parents will work together to help children catch up if they get behind. Each child will be praised and rewarded for the progress they are making! HANDBOOKS All Cubbies at Calvary will start with the Apple Acres Entrance Booklet. After these requirements are passed off, Cubbies will start in the HoneyComb Handbook. The first handbook will be provided by the church. A replacement handbook if needed is $10.00 and must be replaced by the parents. A zip-lock bag will be secured to the inside front cover of the handbook. Please check this bag for patches earned by your Cubbie throughout the year.

Clubbers are rewarded for their achievements as they progress through their handbooks and mission projects. Parental involvement plays a vital role in helping children to realize the importance of memorizing God’s Word. Parents taking time to work with your children on their memory verse will help them see that it is something that you view as being worthwhile and important. Your child will also earn an award for each section that has a parental signature. GAME TIME Game time is an exciting and safe time of fun and friendly competition.

Sixty years of experience in youth ministry has provided Awana ® with invaluable lessons, skills and wisdom that is used in Awana Youth Ministries. Awana has been delivering phenomenal youth ministry resources and improving on them for decades. Grasping the great experience and traditions of the past, Awana remains committed to not changing the message, but being relevant in our methods. We know that true disciples are developed over time and there are no shortcuts. Everything Awana provides is created to intentionally support discipling students for the long haul. Our middle–school program, TREK, and high-school program, Journey, feature an energetic look, biblically based content, life application and an emphasis on Scripture memory. The materials used provide youth pastors and leaders with relevant tools for in-depth, focused discipleship. Lessons are challenging and thought provoking yet accessible to students from all spiritual backgrounds. Why are parents crucial in discipling children or teenagers? Scripture is clear that parents are the primary spiritual leaders of their children. EAwana has designed Parent's Guides to go with Awana class studies so the material doesn't just stop in our classrooms, but heads home to the kitchen table. Scripture-focused, gospel-centered curriculum is the cornerstone of our ministry. (Please see back cover for AWANA at home website information.) Scholarship Opportunities The Awana scholarship college or university program connects students with opportunities for ongoing education by rewarding them with financial scholarships from quality institutions. Recognizing the high caliber of students that emerge from Awana Ministries, these schools are eager to provide scholarships for students who have reached various levels of achievement within the Awana curriculum. Additional information can be found on the Awana websites.
