Dear parents,
Awana stands for (A)pproved (W)orkmen (A)re (N)ever (A)shamed this comes from second Timothy 2:15 which
says, "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a witness who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing
the Word of truth" We strive to reach this goal and have fun while doing so. Awana is a nondenominational program
which God has chosen to place here at Emmanuel Baptist Church for the purpose of reaching and teaching boys
and girls to learn about, love and serve Jesus Christ.

children will be allowed to leave the building unsupervised. If someone other than yourself will be picking your child up,
please send a signed note with your child stating who will pick them up. This is for everyone to protection.
8.Coordinators and directors use the "three-count" for individuals not following club behavior standards. If a clubber
received three warnings and one meeting night,he or she will be sent home for the night. Clubbers who have received a
"three-count" and are sent home may return to the club in the future if they agree to abide by club rules. The Coordinator
will determine whether the clubber will serve any additional suspension from the club.
9. Uniforms and handbooks will be provided at no charge when clubbers have completed their entrance booklet. Upon
receiving the uniform, the clubbers should wear it to every regular AWANA meeting. If necessary due to loss or damage,
replacement uniforms and handbooks are available for a fee. Awards are presented only two clubbers who wear their
uniforms.
10. Memory sections must be passed by clubbers and one club session. A maximum of two helped per Section is allowed.
Normally, only five sections may be passed in any one club meeting. Bonus shares will be awarded to clubbers whose
parents have initialed their pages at home. They must still say the sections for the club leader to complete the section.
11. All clubbers are encouraged to attend a Sunday School of their choice (not necessarily Emmanuel, although all are
welcome here). Teen points are awarded for club and Sunday school attendance; arriving on time; bring their handbooks
and Bibles (if a child does not have their own Bible, we will give them one at no charge); wearing their uniform; bringing
friends to AWANA; paying club dues. Club dues are $.50 per week. This may be paid in a lump sum if you prefer: $6.50
for September through December, and six dollars for January through April.
12. Game time is a privilege. Tennis shoes and jeans should be worn for safety during games-NO sandals, flip flops or
shorts allowed on the Game Floor. In case of extreme this disorderliness, Game Time privileges may be revoked for the
evening by the Game Director or Coordinator.
Important: Any child who chooses to break the rules of the club three times during the club night will not be allowed to
participate in the remainder of the night's activities. If necessary, we will ask your parents to come take you home. In
some extreme cases, children who are sent home may be asked to stay home the following week as well.
These rules are not meant to be oppressive, but to ensure a safe and fun atmosphere where everyone has a sense of
security and equal opportunity to excel..
