On Wednesday, December 17th, AWANA had a birthday party for Jesus! They had opening ceremony, sang carols, sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and enjoyed cake to celebrate Jesus' birthday. Each club went back to learn verses one more time and earn bucks before Store Night! Store Night was a lot of fun and several of the children bought gifts for their family for Christmas. One little girl who doesn't attend church regularly has been coming to AWANA faithfully as a neighbor brings her. She used what little AWANA bucks she had to buy presents for her brother, sister, mom and dad, but bought nothing for herself. She was so happy to have all those little surprises in her bag to be able to present to her family at Christmas. She was truly living out the meaning of Christmas. When her AWANA leader asked her if she saw anything she wanted for herself, she exclaimed "anything princess!" The little girl got something for herself Wednesday night as another clubber gave up her AWANA bucks in order to buy her something. Children with such a pure heart bring glory to the Lord. May Jesus receive all the glory and honor this Christmas!
