You'll let me be your man
and please, say to me

You'll let me hold your hand
Now let me hold your hand
Awana hold your hand

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.

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.

Makes me think of Camp Onawana

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!
