AWANA Quizzing in Lingle, WY

The most important part of AWANA is Bible memorization. The kids start at a very early age learning verses and passages of scripture. The goal is that they will hide God's Word forever in their heart so that they will not sin against Him. Visit this link to learn more about AWANA.

Once a year, regional quizzing events are held. The purpose is to have friendly competition with other AWANA clubbers, testing basic principles, topical elements and Bible memorization. There is an oral and a written part to each test. The kids are tested in their appropriate level book and awarded plaques and ribbons for their efforts.

This was the first year we have participated in quizzing and we had a great time. I was absolutely astounded at the amount of God's Word these kids in AWANA have been taught and the amount they have at the forefront of their minds. What a precious, invaluable thing to possess at such an early age.

Our church, Cornerstone Evangelical Free, had 6 teams (2 people per team) participating in 3 different books. Sarah and Kristy quizzed in T&T Book 1 and took first place.





Allie and her friend Katelyn placed second at Book 3.



Allie and Sarah had AWESOME coaches - Donna K. and Deb M.
