Awanas

This is Amaya's first year in Awanas and I'm sure it won't be her last. For those who don't know about Awanas, it is a program that helps churches and parents work together to develop spiritually strong children who faithfully follow Jesus Christ.

There are between 80-100 preschoolers in Cubbies this year at our church and Amaya is part of the red team. Every Wednesday night, there is a Bible lesson, craft or activity, songs, and snacks. Amaya enjoys working on the crafts the best. Here are a couple of the crafts she's done:

She's most excited about getting to wear her Cubbies vest.


Amaya even has a special place for her vest - right next to her backpack and coat.


Every week, she learns a new Bible Verse and each time she completes a series of verses, she gets a new patch!

Here are the verses she's memorized so far:

God loved us and sent His son. 1 John 4:10

All have sinned. Romans 3:23

God is love. 1 John 4:8

God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1

Believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. John 20:31

And she's memorized the Cubbies Motto: Jesus loves me!
