When Do You Go To AWANA?

I admit it – I am a purist.  I used to be more so…but I definitely still have those tendencies.  When I was a kid it is was like unto heresy to even think of having AWANA anytime but Wednesday night.  And then we found a church that had AWANA on Sunday nights and that became okay – because who doesn’t want to go to AWANA twice a week, hello!  Then it was Thursdays nights…and now, here in Bangladesh, Friday mornings, after church.
It is so exciting to see AWANA going on over here.  The one we attended was grades 1-8 in one club.  I wish our clubs could play games together!  I really couldn’t understand anything but I still had a rough idea of what was going on.  We sang songs (all with motions!), listened to a lesson, and broke into small groups by age.   Instead of using individual books, the leader has the book and teaches the lesson.  This decreases cost which is paramount here.
So much fun!  The kids are awesome.  Oh, and Blue Team won!  Go blue!
