SPARKS is our Awana Club for boys and girls in kindergarten, first
grade and second grade; it opens up a world of Bible truths for
boys and girls. In three years, Sparkies learn about the Bible
through memory verses and exciting biographies. Patrick
Christian is our Senior Sparks Director and Michelle Villarreal
oversees our Kindergarten group; Steve Ward is over the First
Grade Sparks; and Bill Rydberg directs the Second Grade Sparks.

Each handbook contains an audio
handbook CD that includes dramatic readings of the Bible biographies
and a helpful timeline. A CD with verse music for each Sparks
handbook is also available for an additional cost. It includes the
updated Sparks theme song! Add it to the curriculum for even more
gospel-centered fun.
Immersing Kids in God's Word
The Sparks program is firmly grounded in Scripture. The
three handbooks feature:
-
Basic truths about God, Jesus Christ, salvation and the
Bible
-
A clear and consistent presentation of the gospel
message
-
An increased emphasis on Scripture memory over our
preschool materials. In
three years, a child will learn and review over 65 verses, many of which
cover salvation and key Christian doctrine.
Sparks handbooks will contain:
-
Three ranks: HangGlider, WingRunner, and SkyStormer
-
An aviation theme
-
A chronological walk through Scripture
-
Details about Bible characters told in captivating
biographies
-
A handbook CD with dramatic biography readings, memory
verses and more
-
Three new characters – Joel, Chloe and Jacob – to join
Sparky
These updates will take place over the next three years,
beginning with HangGlider in 2008.
Fun Learning = Results
Sparks club meetings combine learning with fun to create
an atmosphere of irresistible excitement for churched and un-churched kids
alike. Club meetings are divided into three segments:
-
Bible teaching, worship, award presentations and the
gospel message
-
Small group interaction and completion of Bible-based
lessons
-
Age-appropriate games on the Awana game circle
Along the way, Sparky, the friendly firefly, and his three
friends have many exciting adventures. Sparky encourages kids to learn
verses and complete assignments throughout the three handbooks.
