Leader Profile of the Week - Student Leader Dani!

Meet Dani, one of our student leaders at Awana!  As a student leader, Dani is an incredible role model for our kids at New Hope, and the clubbers love showing her what they're learning by reciting their Bible verses to her!
 

 
Q: So Dani, why did you decide to volunteer with Awana?

A: I wanted to help kids learn about Christ!  A lot of kids don't have a chance to learn about God, so I wanted to be able to be a part of their lives so they can know about Christ!

 
Q: What's your favorite part of Awana?

A: To watch the kids, and see how happy and excited they get when they are playing the games - and how intrigued they are when they are hearing the Bible stories!

 
Q: Have you learned anything from the kids?

A: I've learned a lot from the kids!  You have to have a child's faith.  When you are a child, you understand faith, and you believe wholeheartedly!

 
Q: Is there anything else you want to add?

A: God is good!!

 
Thanks Dani!  We're blessed to have you on board!

Theme Night: Crazy Hair Night!

Last week we had our first Awana theme night!  Theme nights are a fun way to add variety to your club night routine, and the kids love dressing up to fit the theme!

Our theme of the week was Crazy Hair Night!  We had some terrific hairstyles, and the kids got really creative!  Our leaders got into the spirit as well!


There are lots of possibilities for theme nights that you can use at your club, such as 80's night, Hawaiian night, or Pajama night!  You can find more ideas on Pinterest - a wonderful site that works like a bulletin board, where people "pin" images from their favorite websites with ideas to use later!  

Our theme night was a great success, and we'll definitely be doing more in the future!  What are some of your favorite ideas for theme nights?
