AWANA Thursday

It's Thursday night and that means it's time for another AWANA Thursday :)

Often, AWANA has theme nights.  Tonights night was Paper Airplane night and awards were given out for furthest flight and longest airtime. While Ashleigh's plane did not take an award for either category, she did have fun making a plane and getting to decorate it and fly it.

Alyssa's Sparkies Bible study was from Genesis 11:1-8 and the Tower of Babel.  They also discussed how to keep their focus on God.  Sparks are doing great with their verses and most everyone has completed at least 4 sections out of their book.  A few of them are even about to get their entrance cards into the Sparky High Flyer club which will give them opportunities for prizes and family participating.

Ashleigh had to do her review section for sections 1.1-1.5 of her book this week. This required her to recite the five verses she had previously recited over the last few weeks.

She recited the following verses word perfect and will now move on to section 2 of her book.   These are the verses that she recited this week. 

But the Lord is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King.  At his wrath the earth quakes, and the nations cannot endure His indignation.  Jeremiah 10:10

It is He who made the earth by His power, who established the world by His wisdom, and by His understanding stretched out the heavens.  - Jeremiah 10:12

Where shall I go from Your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from Your presence? 

If I ascend to heaven, You are there!  If I make my bed in Sheol, You are there!

If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.     -  Psalms 139: 7-10

O LORD.  You have searched me and known me.

You know when I sit down and when I rise up.  You discern my thoughts from afar. 

You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.  -- Psalm 139:1-3

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.  - 2 Corinthians 13:14

Next week there will not be an actual AWANA meeting for the kids but instead, the chapel will host it's annual Harvest Festival with Trunk or Treat.  We will actually be decorating our Forrester for this event and Alyssa will be passing out candy to all the kiddos who attend while Ash and Garrett dress up and have a bit of fun.  

And, as for Garrett, well, he came home with me during AWANA time and he made a very yummy batch of Salted Caramel brownies ;)
