New AWANA Program for Preschool & Children

AWANA is our biggest and newest program for this fall.  This is a great Wednesday night program that’s very interactive and loaded with fun and Bible learning for the children involved.  I’m excited to say that we have around 15 volunteers to start this program up; ranging from college age to senior adults.  The AWANA program has been around for years and is a very successful “Bible memory” based program that teaches biblical truths and lessons that are very applicable to each age group.  Any child preschool age through 6th grade is invited to participate.  This program officially starts on Wednesday, October 1st and will run from 6:00 pm -7:45 pm.

Kids will enjoy: the Gathering, Council Time, Handbook, Game Time & Snacks each week! Our first night had 28 kids in attendance with more expected each week! Mrs. Laura Hensley is the AWANA Program Director and has a caring staff of 13 volunteers who will work with the different age groups.

Amazing Place is a special program we’ve started for our children on Sunday mornings.  This program runs during assembly time from 9:30-10:00 and takes place in Samford Studio.  With the help of Johnny Griffin and our youth, this will be a really fun time of songs, games, and skits for our children to enjoy before going to class time.

The BIG event of the month will be happening on October 31st (Halloween).  This year we are doing “Trunk or Treat” from 5:30-7:30 pm. in our parking lot.  “Trunk or Treat” is a fun time where people decorate the trunks of their cars and fill them with candy and treats that the children can come around and enjoy.  We will also have bounce houses and refreshments. It's for kids grade 6 and under and it's FREE!

Children's Bible Study

Each and every Sunday Morning and 9:30 am, we offer children's and preschool Sunday School Classes for the children at Avondale Estates First Baptist Church.  The smallest infants will be held and cuddled as they are told how much Jesus loves them.  The toddlers and preschool age children will be taught about how God made everything as well as some of the our favorite bible stories.  The graded children will also learn about how God worked in the lives of men and women 2000 year ago, and how He still works in lives today from the simple to the great things.  Things like calming fears, praying for loved ones, and help just to be what God wants them to be are all things that we encourage your child to go to God about.

Each child will be taught how much God loves each one of them, no matter what.  They will also be taught how to exercise good decisions for God and how to seek forgiveness when they sin.  Our goal is to nurture each child with the love of God and bring them closer to a spiritual understanding and decision of the need to have Him in their lives.

All the preschool and children's age classes are in "C" building.  Infants and preschool age children are on the first floor.  All the graded children are located on the second floor.  Not sure where to go?  Just ask any leader or campus patrol which way to go and they will be happy to escort you to the appropriate classes; they will even show you where to find a class for yourself so that you can study God's word while we minister to your children.
