Cubbies meet from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. on Sunday evenings.
Cubbies should go to the secretary table in the
hallway by the office of the Children's Bldg. Cubbies
check in with the Cubbie secretary, then go to their
assigned class. They are picked up at the same
room. If this is your Cubbie's first time,
please check in with the Cubbie secretary and she
will assign your child to a team. Then the
parent should go to the foyer of the Family Life
Center to register their child.
Cubbies is an Awana club designed
for boys and girls, ages 3 and 4. It is
required that all boys and girls must be 3 years of
age when beginning Cubbies and be potty trained.
Cubbies will enjoy games, puppets, crafts, awards
and other activities each night in Awana. They
will get to know the special characters of Cubbies:
Cubbie Bear, Luv E. Lamb, Ern E. Elephant, Zip E.
Zebra and Gigi Giraffe. These fun characters
will take preschoolers on a thrilling journey
through God's Word. The will learn key basic
truths about God, Jesus, salvation and the Bible.
Cubbies will memorize
approximately 55 verses and up to 120 adidtional
verses if they complete our extra-credit curriculum
in two years.
The Bear Hugs
Each Cubbie must complete the Bear
Hug Brochure to earn their vest and move into the
handbook. This will take two weeks to complete.
Handbooks
All Cubbies will work in
the same book except for the Cubbies who have
already completed both the Hopper and Jumper books.
Each child will complete one Bear Hug per week. All
Cubbies will work at the same pace, on the same
verse. Each weekly lesson has a section called
"Under the Apple Tree" which is an optional activity
designed for the parent and child to complete
together.
Parents should work with their child
every week and sign the Bear Hug after their Cubbie
has learned the verse. Cubbie parents are recognized
as VIP's (Very Important Parents), because you play
the critical role in the development of your
children. Three-year-olds do not need to learn the
Bible reference, but four-year-olds are expected to.
Each Cubbie will be allowed two helps per verse.
Each week, the verse will be reinforced throughout
the Cubbie activities.
If your Cubbie is absent, or enrolls after the start
of Awana, they will have to go back and complete the
Bear Hugs they missed in order to earn a book award.
The last date to complete books is in the last
Sunday of April. If
your child needs to make up missed Bear Hugs, please
inform either the Cubbie Secretary or their Cubbie
Leader at Coming-In Time. Other awards are given
every 2-3 weeks and are worn on their vests.
Cost: Dues - $32.00/year
Handbooks - $9.00
Uniform - $11.00
