During the school year, our church has a program for kids that is called AWANA. Kids from 2 years old to 6th or 7th grade take part in AWANA. They would meet every Wednesday night taking part in fellowship, prayer, singing songs, and Bible learning. Most importantly they learned and memorized the beautiful Word of God. Yesterday was their last AWANA meeting for the year. And they got to celebrate with a giant balloon release followed by cake and ice cream of course!
The coolest thing about this balloon release...each balloon represents a Bible verse learned and memorized by a child....
there were over 300 balloons released.
Basically, these kids are an inspiration. They are inspiring with their dedication to coming each week, inspiring with their yearning for the Word of God. Yes, they are inspiring and encouraging.
So, enjoy these pictures and be inspired.
That is such a cool idea! I did AWANA's for a few years, but we never did the thing with the balloons. It looked really fun.
ReplyDeleteIt was really awesome to see this.
ReplyDeleteI usually can't be there when they actually do AWANA because I'm at school, but I get to see some of the cool stuff! :-)
This was great and they really enjoyed it!
