Awana Store Night – A Joyful Celebration of Scripture, Service, and Stewardship
On Wednesday, May 21, 2025, Arbor Christian Fellowship hosted the final Awana Store Night of the year, celebrating the dedication of our clubbers who earned Awana Dollars through scripture memory, participation, and service. After a delicious dinner served by Miss Tina, the evening opened with pledges, the Awana theme song, and prayer. Children shopped a wide variety of donated items—from toys and crafts to Bibles and Bible journaling supplies—and also had the opportunity to give generously to North American missionaries through the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering, contributing an impressive $1,058. Families are invited to return for Awana Parents and Awards Night on Wednesday, May 28 at 6 p.m., featuring a camping theme and a special Biblical Counseling book table by Pastor Steve and Rose, offering resources to support children, parents, and ministry leaders in their walk with Christ.
Walking in His Footsteps: Awana Children Experience Holy Week at Arbor Christian Fellowship
During Holy Week at Arbor Christian Fellowship, children in the Awana program—from the youngest Cubbies to the T&T students—immersed themselves in the story of Jesus in meaningful, hands-on ways. The T&T class (3rd–6th grade) continued their annual tradition of foot washing, experiencing Christlike humility and love as leaders served them, and many joyfully chose to serve others in return. Sparks (Kindergarten–2nd grade) explored the significance of Easter through a special lesson and craft, helping them understand Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection. Meanwhile, the Cubbies (ages 3–5) joyfully participated in age-appropriate reenactments of Holy Week events—riding on a “donkey,” simulating the Last Supper, learning about the disciples, and acting out Palm Sunday. Each group was given the opportunity to see, feel, and experience the heart of the Gospel in a way designed just for them.
Awana T&T Children Make a Global Impact Through Compassion International
At Arbor Christian Fellowship, our Awana T&T children are making a global impact through their generosity. By using their Awana Dollars, earned through Bible verse memorization, they’ve purchased life-changing items for children in poverty around the world through Compassion International. From Bibles and water wells to food and chickens, these young hearts are learning to store up treasures in heaven by sharing God's love with those in need.
