TnT Girls

2010-03-24T16:19:00.006-05:00

The girls had a Guest Speaker

...who shared some Illusions,

and talked intimately about his ongoing experience with Cancer.
About how, because of our relationship with God, we can go through even the scariest of time without having to be afraid.
Thank you for sharing!

The girls earned enough points to dye Commander Don's hair

actually, they earned more!

And they're off

The finished result:

Looking good!

Special Speaker for Council Time, took the boys outside to share with them the gospel

and to show this illustration on his motorcycle. You can see in it Golgotha "the place of the skull", where Jesus was crucified. If you look closely you can also see the empty tomb and the stone that was rolled away. Also note the path, that leads to the cross

2009-09-09T16:10:00.001-05:00

I trusted Christ when I was four years old after Cubbies one night. Although I was little, I knew that Jesus had died for my sins and that I needed to ask Him to forgive me.

I was in Awana from the age of three all the way until I graduated from high school. I finished all the books in Cubbies, Sparks, Chums and Guards (now TnT), JV (now TREK), and Journey 24/7 (high school). I received my Citation Award in May of 2008.

I was a leader in Sparks for four years during high school, and this is my third year of being a co-director of Sparks.

I love being able to share the Good News of Jesus with the kids in Sparks!!!

Commander Don

2009-09-09T15:04:00.001-05:00

I was saved while in college in 1976. Many years later when I was married we moved to Aurora, which was about 20 years ago.

After attending Central Bible Church for two or three years I was asked to be a leader in the junior high program of Awana. I helped out as a leader for again maybe two or three years and then asked to be the commander. I have been serving as the commander ever since.

So you ask what does a commander do?

Our Awana club is made up of six different groups or clubs ranging from kindergarten all the way through high school. Each club has it's own leaders and the commander makes sure that all the positions are filled.

The commander also oversees the budget which is about $3,500.

Every May is our Awards Night which has to be set up and the program made out. The awards need to be organized so each child gets the correct award and finally light refreshments are usually offered and then has to be organized also.

The best part of being commander is that I get to interact with not only all the leaders but also the parents and their children.

Once in awhile my hair and beard get dyed about six different colors as a reward for meeting certain goals.

For me the best part of this position is being able to encourage and challenge the children to complete their books and memorize the Bible verses.

Ruth Hernandez: Director of T & T Girls

2009-09-09T15:03:00.000-05:00

I trusted Christ as a child. Although I was very young, I understood that I was a sinner and that Jesus paid the price for my sins on the cross.

My home church in Lombard, Illinois, had AWANA, but I was only able to attend occasionally. It was enough, however, to familiarize me with the AWANA program.

I first became an AWANA leader at Central Bible Church eighteen or nineteen years ago. The 2009-2010 AWANA year will be my third year as the director of T & T girls. My husband Mike and both of my daughters are also leaders in AWANA.

Both of my daughters have attended AWANA as long as possible, starting with Cubbies and continuing through high school. The oldest, who is now in college, has received her Citation Award, and the other is on track to receive it as well.

It is truly a joy to work with the girls and leaders and to lead a club where God's Word is taught and girls can have lots of safe fun.
