Children's Ministry

Awana Sparks® ignites the curiosity of early elementary-age kids within your church's children's ministry to learn about the people and events of the Bible, building a foundation of wisdom for knowing Christ. Too many children in kindergarten to second grade, Sparks is the highlight of the week! They love their red vests, the exciting games, and spending time with leaders and friends. Sparks is divided into three years, each with a unique rank: HangGlider®, WingRunner® and SkyStormer™. Each year, Sparks clubbers in your children's ministry program:

• explore the biographies of people of the Bible from a new portion of Scripture

• memorize Bible verses

• complete handbook activities

The handbooks, combined with Large Group Time lessons from the WHO Do I Need to Know From the Bible series, take your child on a journey through the entire Bible!

 

 

 Parents play a leading role in their child's spiritual development.

Invest in your child's growing faith by reading and discussing the Bible and the handbook sections with your child and

by helping him memorize the verses. Use the Parent Ideas section in each handbook to help your child understand the biographies

and see how they fit in the Bible. Sparks Bookwalks are online tools that walk you through your child's handbook to help YOU help your child.

Optional parent handbooks (HangGlider, WingRunner and SkyStormer) from Awana at Home correspond to your child's handbooks.

These books make it easy to learn more about the Bible and answer your child's questions.

 

 

 

 Curriculum:

Sparks curriculum is comprised of three handbooks. Each handbook builds a foundation of biblical wisdom through memory

verse drills, crafts, activities and review of key doctrine and Bible facts. Before working in the first handbook, HangGlider,

all newcomers to Sparks will complete an entrance booklet – Flight 3:16 – that centers on the gospel message of John 3:16.

WingRunner and SkyStormer handbooks challenge Sparkies to learn about 15 more verses than the preceding book.

Each handbook includes an audio CD with readings of all the Bible biographies, memory verses and character stories featuring

Sparky the Firefly and his friends Chloe, Jacob, and Joel.
