It's official. The church voted last night to start an AWANA club at Eulaton. AWANA is a children's ministry that God is using mightily in thousands of churches. I am incredibly excited to see how God is going to work through this ministry at EFBC.
The name AWANA stands for "Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed" and is taken from 2 Timothy 2:15 which reads:
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. (NIV)
AWANA will be meeting on Sunday evenings from 5-7 during our Discipleship Training and Evening Worship hours. It will take a little time to get all of the materials and get everything in place before we can actually begin this ministry, but go ahead and be praying and telling parents with children about this exciting opportunity. Our hope is to begin AWANA around the first of November.
Thank you church for your commitment to reach people for Jesus Christ.
Bro. Shane

You will love AWANA. It is a ton or work, but it is amazing how it pulls kids in and it is double amazing how much Scripture they learn.
(Note of caution: The AWANA missionaries will get you if you put an 's' or an apostrophe 's' on the end of the word. It is just 'AWANA.' It takes some getting to used to. It is still hard for me to say, "Kids, how did AWANA go last night?")
Thanks for the heads up on using an 's' in the name. I've edited the blog. Maybe I'll stay out of trouble.
Acroymns should never have "s" or "'s".
