Welcome Sparkies new and returning! Parents, each night has four sections which are outlined in order below. 

Make sure to check out our SPARKS THEME SONG here! We would love your child to memorize the song and examine and understand the words with us! 

Opening Rally (1): We recite pledges to American Flag, Christian Flag and the Bible. We sing the AWANA song together and pray over our night.

Small Group (2): WELCOME to our small group leaders this year: Ms. Ashley (K), Ms. Jenia (K), Ms. Sarah (K), Ms. Samantha (1), Ms. Baili (1), Ms. Jennifer (2), and Ms. Connie (2)

During small group the leaders review hand books and memory verses. This a beautiful time for more individual attention and discipleship. We want each child to understand the memory verse they are reciting. We will be encouraging them to locate their memory verses in their Bibles. Each child earns points for bringing their Bible. 

Handbook Information:

All Sparkies work through the Flight 3:16 booklet first. This is foundational to understanding God's love for us and who Jesus is. This booklet does include a memory verse, a question section and 2 days of attendance to pass. No rank is achieved here but they graduate to their book and are given their vests, if purchased. 

The hand book progression is as follows: 

1. The green book called the HangGlider, 

2. The blue book called the WingRunner, and

3. The red book is called SkyStormer. 

Sparks are self paced and may recite all verses they have memorized and studied in between the AWANA weeks. *Children are not permitted to memorize during the small group time. Your support with preparation is greatly appreciated.

REMINDERS: Children must bring their books. It helps our listeners and leaders from week to week. Life happens and we will have loaners if needed. 

Memorization TIPS: If your child is an auditory learner or you want to use music to help learn and reinforce our weekly lessons and their memory verses check out the whole playlist: HangGlider Playlist, and Wing Runner Playlist

Recreation (3): is game time where the famous AWANA square is utilized for Sparks to participate in individual and team games like beanbag relay or Sparkie Train. Sparkies love the occassional Trivia nights! 

Large Group (4): This week we will learn that Jesus is Our Savior. (1 John 4:14 & John 3:16) 

We will be discovering what S.P.A.R.K.S. stand for in the coming weeks!

This week's lesson coincides with the first rank in the HangGlider book, which we anticipate many students receiving this week. Each week we will have children search for their scriptures in their Bibles. We get VERY excited about God's Word!

Note: There are one large group led by Ms. Ashley.
