And with a final push despite that hideous stomach flu (which reappeared once since my last post), we ended the year at AWANA with a bang … and some cupcakes.I have truly enjoyed every single Sunday night I had the privilege of spending with the red team. Admittedly, there were fewer than usual. The year I had my knee surgery, I missed two meetings all year. (I always miss the second one to go to ACFW’s conference.) Last year, even with the divorce, I missed only one or two. This year sickness took me out at least five times.
But my kids, both in my group and in my home, pushed through the obstacles and made impressive finishes. Andrea and Joshua both finished the top books for their grade levels. Though we’re all looking forward to the summer break, I’m sure they’ll be ready to hit it hard come September.
To all my fellow Sparky leaders, it’s been great serving with you another year!
Such cute pictures!
Hi Christina –
Hope you’re feeling better.
What fun for the kids! I always liked Youth Group. Of course, they didn’t call it that when I was younger.
Blessings,
Susan 🙂

Our children’s ministry director wants to start an AWANA program at our church. **Please pray with me about this ministry.**
We visited another church and saw the program set up. We have activities on Wednesday nights.
I can’t speak highly enough of AWANA. Not only do the kids know an amazing amount of Scripture, but I learn it too by listening. 🙂
