Autumn Ridge Church: Kids' Club

6:30 - 8:00pm Wednesday nights, mid-September to mid-May

Who knew that memorizing the Bible could be so much fun! Preschoolers receive AWANA Bible memory books when they sign up and work on them at home and then come and verify them with their leader. Kindergarten through 5th graders recevie Quest 2>52 devotion booklets each week to work on at home and a memory verse for each month. In the middle of it all, there are great leaders, large group worship and bible teaching, small group devotions and activities, funny jokes, making friends and all sorts of things kids like that are part of their Wednesday evenings at Kids' Club.

Our goal is to partner with parents in the development of children, and we recognize that parental assistance is very important for children to make the most of their Kids' Club experience. You can help your children by encouraging them to come prepared each week, by helping them complete their at home activities, by praising them for their efforts and accomplishments, and by communicating any special needs with us. We hope this will be a special place where children make new friends, play exciting games, enjoy theme nights, participate in service projects, grow in their relationship with God, and memorize God's Word, the Bible.

AWANA Cubbies for Preschoolers
(2 year program - children attend for 2 years prior to Kindergarten)

Dawn Wester, Kids' Club Preschool Coordinator

Our pre-school Cubbies enjoy learning Bible verses and working through activity handbooks while receiving special award patches to put on their own "Cubbies" vest they wear each week to Club. Each night they have table time with their leader, Bible stories, activities, music and snacks.

Each week you and your child should complete the assigned Bear Hug. Each Bear Hug includes Scripture memorization and coordinating parent-child activities that will help your child grasp the ideas you on working on together. Once your child has successfully learned their Bible verse for the week, please sign their workbook.

QUEST 2-52 for K - 5th Grade

Elann Wright, Kids' Club Elementary Director

The Quest 2-52 name is taken from Luke 2:52, "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man." Our program is built around three basic truths from this verse that every child should embrace according to what Jesus modeled:

1. Wisdom - I need to make the wise choice.

2. Faith - I can trust God no matter what.

3. Friendship - I should treat others the way I want to be treated.

Each month we will focus on a different biblical virtue.

GodTime Cards include four weekly devotions designed to focus kids’ attention as they spend time reading the Bible and talking to God at home. Since there is only one version for grades K-5, younger children will need to complete their GodTime cards with a parent while older kids can complete them on their own. Once your child completes their weekly GodTime cards, please sign their monthly Achievement Tracker which should be in their Quest 252 folders. Quest 252 Kids need to turn in signed monthly Achievement Trackers on the first Wednesday of each month in order to earn a reward.
