AWANA Award Ceremony 2011

During the 2010-2011 club year, over 5,000 sections were completed from the 265 children that attended AWANA. They filled up over 137 punch cards (which means A LOT of giant candy bars went out our doors). We had 71 adult volunteers that did an awesome job! During the ceremony, we handed out the following:
42 First Book awards
14 Second Book awards
5 Third Book awards
2 Extra Credit Handbook pins
256 Certificates
71 Leader Pins
8 Top Section Club Medallions
3 Top Section Trophies
It was such a great night as we remembered all the fun theme nights and awarded all the hard work everyone has done this club year.

Next Generation

I saw this video on http://www.wymad.org.uk/ and had to share it with you. It explains exactly why we do what we do in the FBC Kids Ministry.

Neighborhood Bible Club

Sat, July 31 was a great day to see God working in the lives of so many at FBC of Live Oak. We held a Neighborhood Bible Club at the Suwannee Rotary Pavilion. We had volunteers from every ministry age group and had a great times of games, drama, food and fellowship. The rain storm might have scared off a few visitors but we had a full house and were able to connect with many families from the adjoining neighborhood apartments. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped with this event. Please pray for those that attended as we hope to connect with home visits in the coming weeks.

Day 4 - Centri Kid 2010

So much happened on this day that I couldn't get it all blogged that night. That morning we had OMC (Organized Mass Chaos) and it was just like it sounds but sooooo much fun! The chaperones were showed the most CK spirit by dressing appropriately for the event (pics to come later). LOL There was shaving cream, toilet paper, pool noddles, cheetos, and lots of water. That afternoon we had Slaughter Salon, an event hosted by Jeff Slaughter to raise money for the missions offering. If you paid $1 they would make sure you were styling for the rest of the day. Just imagine almost several hundred kids & adults walking around the CK campus with crazy hair. Then imagine what the worship service smelled like that night -- hairspray! We ended this day with making preparations for the next day's bus loading and autographing shirts. It was hard to go to bed that night with all the excitement.

Day 3 - Centri Kid 2010

Ditto - except more tired!!!

Just kidding! It was a great day. The kids are getting more comfortable with the campus, the staffers and their groups. They are all having such a great time. But they really are going to sleep earlier each night because they're getting worn out from climbing rec hill. Everyone is looking forward to tomorrow because it's OMC and Slaughter Salon both. So be watching for some great pics! :)

Opening Ceremony Day 2

You can tell the kids stayed up late last night so they're a little less "jumpy" during opening ceremonies today. Ms Jenny really tried to get some of them to start moving. It actually didn't take long though to get them excited and moving again.

Party Game

Each night, we have the "Party" and they play all kinds of games on the stage. This night, several of our girls were called up to play this game - Paper Eating. The kids all love it!

Heading out to tracks!

The kids are thoroughly enjoying all their tracks - even though it's hot! They are meeting new friends and learning some fun things. They will have tons to tell you when they get home.
