We are excited to welcome kids back to AWANA this fall. Every individual involved is a volunteer and has a heart for children’s ministry. We are delighted to enjoy the time with your kids and challenge them with the truth of God’s word each Awana night.

This has been a difficult time for many and we look forward to a fun time together.

Please be gracious with us as we know there is much diversity of opinion.

Registration: Each clubber will need to have a registration form complete by parent/guardian to participate. This form contains personal information, emergency, contact info, etc. It will be kept on file for the Awana year.

Weekly Registration: Parents will need to signup their kids EACH week in advance using the Eventbrite signup link on website. This will help us prepare volunteers and program each week.

Check In : Parents will need to self screen their family before coming to SBC. At checkin parents will be asked to confirm that they have completed the screening and that all in household are symptom free.

Kids will be checked in at front doors. Kids will join their leader group in the lobby. Parents will exit the building.

Pickup: Parents will pickup their kids at end of the program from the designated door location. A location will be provided for parents that wish to stay. Parents are asked to stay masked and socially distant in the provided locations.

Masks: Southdale Bible Chapel requires the use of masks for everyone in the church building. While there are various opinions on the matter, the Bible clearly instructs us to put the needs of others above our own needs ( Philippians 2:3-4, Romans 12:10, Galatians 5:13, etc.).

We understand that some are unable to wear a mask for various reasons. If this is the case in your situation, we ask that you consider the safety and needs of others above your own.

Distancing: All attendees are expected to practice physical distancing, when possible, by maintaining a minimum of 6 feet (2 meters) between other attendees.

Layout: Clubbers will be assigned a workspace for each awana night. They will keep their handbooks, coats, boots, etc with them at their workspace. This will be there home base for the evening. They can switch to running shoes, keep their personal water bottle, etc. at this location.

Format: The evening is made up of three main activities. Handbook time, Game time, and Council Time. Clubbers will move from one location to another for each activity. A mix of activities and games throughout the evening will give them time to stretch and move.

Games: Kids will have a game time in the gym area. Masks will be worn and games will focus on low contact activities.

Water: For simplicity clubbers are encouraged to bring personal water bottle. Leaders will provide a drink of water to kids where needed.
