Awana Note
By Keith Wrage

        Spaghetti Dinner and Puppet Show
We had a wonderful evening of outreach, serving approx 300 people a delicious spaghetti dinner and enjoying another great show from Hairy and Company.  The kids came with their "Wild Hats and Hair" just for Hairy!  Thanks to everyone who made this special night a huge success.

 Awana Bible Quizzing Results
The Awana Quiz Bowl for T&T clubbers was held on February 23rd in Wausau.  First Baptist Church entered three teams: Book 1, Corey Resech; Book 2, Rebekah Heil, Abigail Heil, and Ty Wrage, Book 4, Maddison Kuhn and Tate Wrage.  As a solo quizzer, Corey overcame the odds and earned 2nd place!  Our Book 2 team tied for first place with a tough Immanuel Baptist team.  Ty Wrage earned special honors by "quizzing-out" during the 8-question Speed Round - buzzing in and answering 3 questions correctly, the only clubber to do so at this years quizzing.  Maddison and Tate did a great job too - taking 2nd place.  Every clubber that competed truly won - they worked hard, spending extra time studying their quizzing material for about 6 weeks.  They've committed God's Word to memory - writing it on their hearts for eternity.  Quizzing has a high degree of difficulty...every scripture passage must be memorized word perfectly in order to count!  The teams were coached by Sandy Resech and Darla Wrage.  Michele Kuhn served as a scorer for the competition.

Awana Fair Scheduled for March 12th
This year's Awana Fair is scheduled for March 12th during our regular club time.  This night will also feature our Beach Theme....so dig out those sunglasses, beach towels and flip-flops and come join the fun!!  We still need LOTS of volunteers to help make the evening a success.  Please contact Keith Wrage at 965-2221 or keith.wrage@century21.com if you are willing to serve!




Pennies for Bibles Contest
Once again, we'll be doing our Pennies for Bibles Contest.  Clubbers are encouraged to bring pennies with them to club on March 5, 12, and 19 to donate to a global Bible outreach ministry.  The color team that brings the most pennies (BY WEIGHT!) will earn a special prize.  Start gathering those pennies!  If you would like to contribute, please talk to any Awana clubber.

 Cancellation of the Awana Adventures
Sadly, due to low participation and interest, we've eliminated the Awana Adventure incentive program for clubbers.  Thank you to everyone who led an adventure or expressed a willingness to do so.  Clubbers will be given a refund for their Awana Bucks.
