We are well into AWANA and I am helping the Sparks kids again. There is a small group of 5 this year. Small but the most challenging. There are 3 kindergartners that are wild and naughty. They really take a lot out of you in a night. During a recent AWANA the Sparks had a lesson that had to do with carving a pumpkin. Each kid got to have their own pumpkin to decorate with a marker. With Aaron gone, Jacob was the only one that wasn’t a kindergartner. He tend to act like the kids he is around. Luke loves being a Cubbie and does well. He gets pretty wild too and has one little boy that likes to wrestle him to the ground. Luke thinks it is all fun. Jayden is struggling to enjoy her time at AWANA. She is in her last year and doesn’t have any of her friends attending this year. She also has too very mean boys that like to annoy her. This year has been a struggle and we know it will be our last. I think the AWANA program is wonderful, but I see it slowly fading in this church. Sadly there are 4 children in the entire program that do not have a parent or grandparent that helps with AWANA. I think the outreach has gone. I always thought they needed to join with the other churches in the community and outreach and grow.
