Slime!

"Tonight was the best night ever!"... to quote one of our Sparks. Tonight was "Wow It is Almost Summer Night" in Awana. This was Stuart's brainchild! Each team was given 10 questions and if they answered 5 right they had the opportunity to pour slime, dump water, or put a pie in the face of a volunteer. It was a blast!

Many thanks to our dedicated volunteers who put up with being icky (and cold!) to make our kids' nights.

Stu's goal was to see if they had actually learned something this year. Many have. Matt Haines shared with staff on Sunday about 2 kids in his neighborhood who are crazy about Awana and are working hard to learn their verses and are thrilled to be there each week. These 2 kids do not go to church.

That is what it is all about... kids having a fun environment where they can learn God's Word and kids who don't know Jesus having the opportunity to meet Him.

That is why we do what we do... even when it involves slime!
