Charis at AWANA

Charis recently finished her first year in Cubbies with AWANA (this could have been her second year except she didn't want to be potty-trained until after she turned 3!) But after a rocky start, she really got into it.


This is a group shot of our Cubbies (I had a better picture, but accidentally deleted it from my camera). Apparently this is the first year our AWANA program has split the award ceremonies, with Sparks, Trek, etc. on the next day. I think our AWANA program is the biggest in the state. It's massive and uses EVERY area in our church (except the pastors' offices).


Charis (middle) getting her award. Each class had a number of leaders with only a few kids with each leader.

A video of the year was shown. Charis is on the screen reciting a Bible verse. She was so excited to see herself up there!
Charis with Steve, her AWANA leader. I think she had a crush on him!

Charis with Cubby. This is a BIG deal. Most of the year, she ran away from Cubby. I heard from Steve that when Cubby first came into her classroom, she ran to Steve, latched onto him and said, "I'm with you!"

We did Cubbies 14-15 years ago. We never got to meet the bear though!

nope- they always split cubbies ceremony from the rest-- and believe me- thank God they do- the main ceremony goes for about 3 hours!!!!
