AWANA Awards!

The kids were involved in AWANA at Long Beach Alliance Church and loooved it! They were used to a much bigger program back in CO but this smaller group proved to be perfect for these guys.
This is Jack & Mr. Tom who is in charge of Sparks. Jack loved Tom! He always came home telling us all the fun stuff that Tom taught. Jack was the only kindergarten Spark to get the perfect attendance medal - woohoo go us!! He also got an award for finishing his first book which means he memorized a heck of a lot of verses.
Crap pictures but you can kind of see him in the back. Look for the blue wristband!!
B-Dog graduated from Cubbies and did an awesome job!!
Another crap picture! But there he is on stage accepting his award. He had a great time at cubbies but is super excited to be a SPARK next year with Jack. Yet another crap picture..ugh. You can kind of see Beau on the left next to the chick with the blue dress on.
I know the kids have stored so much of God's Word in their heart because I hear them telling other kids the verses they've learned. It's really great to see them on fire and being around other kids that love God too.
Next year Maizie girl will be a Cubbie and then we'll have Wednesday evenings all to ourselves YEAH!!!

I know I'm such a slacka!! I took a year off of volunteering when we moved here and my year is up in July so I may have to get it in gear. But those Wed nights were looking so good!!
