Adopt-a-Club

Adopt A Club Logo
Thousands of churches overseas see Awana as an extremely effective means for leading kids and families to Jesus Christ. But there are many more that can't afford to start and run clubs. In short, they need your help.
It cost $240 to sponsor one club overseas. Our goal for this year is to sponsor 6 individual clubs. All clubbers will receive a pizza party when we meet that goal.
  
AWANA Parents, 

Welcome to another edition of the AWANA Know newsletter. I hope your finding this informative and useful. It's been brought to my attention that some parents would like a hard copy in addition to this email. Starting this week, clubbers will bring a text only version of this email home with them. This newsletter can be used for anything related to Awana clubs. If you desire additional info about AWANA, please email me and I'll try to include it in future editions. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
