Finishing strong

The kids had their AWANA awards on Sunday night.  For Samuel it was the last AWANA he will have because he has graduated from Truth and Training and is  moving up to youth. 

At the beginning of the year Samuel told me he wanted to receive the Timothy award.  I knew he could do it, but that it would take a lot of work and diligence on his part.  He had two books to complete to earn it.  The books are full of activities, memory verses, and questions to complete from Bible reading.  But it was his goal.  And HE DID IT!!
 
He received the Timothy award, the highest award given in the AWANA program.   For those who have earned the award, their name goes on a plaque that is displayed in the children's wing. 

 Samuel is showing the two awards he received.  The Timothy and the challenge award, which he received for completing the challenges in his books.

Way to finish strong, Samuel.  You worked very hard this year and we are proud of you.

Thank-you teachers for helping Samuel accomplish his goal this year.

Gabrielle received the book award for completing three books in Sparks.  Yea, Gabby!  Great Job.
