Well, tomorrow marks the end of the first half of our Awana year. We'll end it in style with our annual Christmas concert. There are alot of great performances planned, getting us all into the Christmas spirit (if you aren't already!).
Parents, please have your children at the chapel by 6:15pm. The concert will begin as soon as every clubber has arrived, which we are hoping is 6:30pm. The concert should last one hour with snacks and refreshments afterward in the gym.
It has been great watching the clubbers rehearse their songs and plays and I know it will be a blessing to you all. Invite everyone you know to come out and enjoy the sights and sounds of this precious time of year where we celebrate the birth of our Savior.
We will also be announcing the weight total of our food drive for this year....so be prepared for that as well.
See you tomorrow night!
The gang from Ridgeville Bible chapel and it's Awana club is marching tomorrow in the Pelham Christmas parade. If you have sent in your permission slips, thank you. If you haven't yet, no worries, I will have a number on hand at the parade for you to sign. We are really excited and if you haven't participated in the past, it is a wonderful experience. For those of you who have been involved in the past, you know the great fun we have!
Please be at Christian Reform Church on Balfor St. no later than 12:15pm. The street will be blocked off, so a leader will be waiting for clubbers to lead them to our group. Cubbies are expected to be accompanied by their parents. And we will have a van pulling a trailer for anyone who gets tired.
Pick up for all clubbers will be at Centennial park, where there are a number of activites for families to participate in afterwards, as well as refreshments.
So see you all tomorrow, rain or shine (or snow, but I highly doubt that!)
We have another busy night at club. Not only do we have our Christmas concert rehearsals tonight, which I hope you are all ready for, but the Awana store will be open as well. As for the concert, this is the last night of practice before our big performance next week for our families. Afterwards, there will be snacks and refreshments provided, so please plan on staying. Invite all your parents and any one else you would want to bring. We also will announce the amount of weight in food we have put together for our food drive! You can still bring in food, tonight is the last night though.
As for the store, bring your coupons and see if there is anything you want to buy. Or better yet, save up your coupons and buy something big next time.
See you all tonight!
We begin our formal Christmas concert rehersals tonight for all of the clubs at Awana. Come prepared if you already have your lines/songs to memorize. Next week, each of the clubs will have time scheduled to practice on the stage upstairs in the sanctuary.
Other than that it's just a regular night.....and I'm looking forward to being back at our club.
See you guys tonight!
Tonight is backwards night. Come to club dressed backwards for extra Awana coupons. It's a bit silly, but it's a nice way to shake things up.
I saw that the hamper is starting to fill up nicely....well done clubbers, but we still have a way to go. Remember that whatever we do to the least of these, we do unto Christ Himself.
The Christmas concert is quickly approaching......memorize whatever you have to in order to be prepared. And of course, work on your handbooks.......and understand what you are learning, it's food for the soul.
I'm still away on club visits, so I'll see you all in two more weeks.
Blessings
What a great time at Heroes Unmasked this past Tuesday! Wheather it was throwing marshmellows at Goliath's head, or taking a tour of the empty tomb, great fun was had by all! We counted 88 kids pass through our doors to enjoy the festivities. Along with their parents, kids got to enjoy all the games and watch the candy flow. It was exhausting for our leaders, but well worth the effort as we seek to serve the LORD and serve our community. LORD willing, we all will gather together in the world of Heroes Unmasked next October 30th. Make sure you check out the YouTube video of the event at the bottom of this page.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming. After a busy week of preparing and showcasing Heroes, it will be a regular night of Awana at Ridgeville. There will be new colored teams, so be prepared clubbers, to be switched up and make some new friends.
Start collecting those Awana coupons as the store will be open again in 4 weeks.
AND DON'T FORGET THE AWANA FOOD HAMPER WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER. It's starting to feel a little heavier, but no way is it as heavy as myself. And that's the goal, 221 lbs. We'll see the results at the Christmas concert.
Speaking of the Christmas concert, you no doubt have noticed clubbers, that we are well on our way in practicing our carols and skits (at least I hope my directors have begun). As of now our Christmas concert is only 35 days away! (And Christmas is only 49 days away!!!!)
I'll be away on some club visits for the next while, so I'll see you all soon!
