Awana

Our church, Grace and Peace Presbyterian (PCA), is a church plant and does not have a lot of programs for children just yet. Because we want the kids to be involved in activities that help their spiritual development, and to give them another outlet for social activity, we have been taking them to an AWANA program at another church. I stay with Owen and help him and Beth goes with Lewis. They are actually really good at scripture memory which is the main emphasis in AWANA, although there is a story and craft generally, and sometimes games to play.

Owen's group are all 3 year olds and there have been up to 16 kids on any given night which can be pretty overwhelming.


We got a cd of the songs that go along with Owen's scriptures and both boys have memorized them, and Lewis even learned to play them on the piano. Justin and Phoebe have special daddy daughter date nights while we are gone. :)
