Happy Awana
I was driving and drove past a Baptist church that said AWANA started Sept. 10. I have no idea what that is, but if you're a Baptist, I hope you have a great one. Or even if you're not Baptist and celebrate it, I hope you have a safe and happy or dignified and enlightening (whichever is more apropo) Awana.

OMG, I ALWAYS sing that song in my head when I hear AWANA, which is not good, because most of the time it's when I'm counseling a preteen.

Thanks! (although this post made me giggle too). AWANA is basically a church club that teaches kids about Jesus. It was actually quite fun (I least I remember it was). Shoot, I'm sure today its ten times better that it was in the 80s.

Muahahaha, it's not a holiday. It's a program! It lasts throughout the schoolyear.
<----- not Baptist, but attended a Baptist school for four years. The worst four years of my life, might I add.

AWANA, like Opi & Honeykiss said, is a great Christian children & teens group. When I was in it (age 3-8th grade! every Friday night during the schoolyear) we had games, BIBLE stories, songs & recited memorized BIBLE verses. Kids earn different patches for attendance at AWANA, attendance at any church & completion of the verses. It's worth a visit to the website for more info if you are interested. I think any church that believes in the principals AWANA teaches can start a group so it's not just Baptist. My years as a kid in our Baptist church with AWANA were great!
