AWANA returns to Red Bluff church

AWANA returned for the new school year to North Valley Baptist Church of Red Bluff, A Family Life Fellowship.

AWANA starts on Sept. 12, 345 David Ave., Red Bluff, according to Richard Kent, commander.

Each session runs from 6 to 8 p.m. and is designed for children ages 3 years through eighth grade.

There is no registration fee.

The evening includes three segments: handbook time, game time, and council time. Songs, testimonies and awards are given during the latter.

Three- and 4-year-olds Cubbies are directed by Beth Benner.

Sparks, third to fifth grade, are directed by Nancy Lamberson.

Other directors are Mira Sisco, Tom Moulton and Rebecca Wanker. Each group also has volunteer helpers.

AWANA is an acronym for Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed, taken from Second Timothy 2:15.

It is an international, non-denominational Bible-centered youth ministry to reach youth with the gospel of Christ, and train them to serve Him, according to Pastor David Lamberson.

Information is available by calling the church at 527 0543.
