A few things you will need to know for this year:
We are excited to announce we will be moving to meeting in-person every week, starting January 13, 2021. Hopefully, we will be able to do this through April, but we will need to stay vigilant. We were following a hybrid model this 2020 season. What does that mean? We met in person every other Wednesday outside at church from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m., then moved inside when weather became colder. The alternate Wednesdays we gathered online from 6:00 -7:00 p.m. We continuously re-evaluate our meetings based on the most current COVID-19 guidelines.
Here is more of what you need to know:
- Awana is for participants ages 3 years old to 5th grade. (No Puggles this year.)
- Our in person meetings will be held outside starting September 9; from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. Weather permitting.
- Masks are encouraged but not required.
- Parents will be responsible for doing temperature and symptom checks for their kids before the meeting (these are required).
- If the school you are attending is shut down due to COVID-19 cases and you are to be quarantining, you will not be allowed to attend Awana in person that week, regardless of your child not showing or having symptoms.
- We will not be providing snack during the time your child(ren) are with us but encourage them to bring water bottles since we will be outside.
- Books are required and cost $10.00
- Cubbies (3 and 4 year olds) are in the Honeycomb book.
- Sparks will need the HangGlider Essentials book.
- T&T will use Mission: Grace Essentials.
- If you need a vest or jersey, it is $10. (required); these are required because the earned patches get adhered to the vest or jersey.
- Awana bags or backpacks are $10. (optional)
- Bags/backpacks are optional but we do encourage that your child have something to put their Bible, Awana book, water bottle and other items in, so as not to lose them
We appreciate your patience as we navigate this new way of doing Awana. If you have any other questions, please contact Sarah Misleh. We look forward to seeing you all!
