亲爱的AWANA家长们：
感谢我们的主让同工和孩子们有心邀请，星期五晚上又有两个新朋友来到我们当中，Gordon和Sherry 的邻居小朋友弟兄俩Braeden 和Blake Homrighous参加了sparks部分活动。最近加入Cubbies 的Rodger Liu 也完成了入门手册，等下一次AWANA的时候，会拿到他的制服。Rodger的姐姐， Candy， 还有另一个sparkie, Annabelle, 刚刚在周五晚拿到了她们的sparks制服。感谢主使用潘晶姐妹/宇星姐妹/俊安弟兄在教会的中文网站里建了一个AWANA的分站，一些AWANA的基本信息已经发在里面，如果您有兴趣， 可以看一下。
想知道您的孩子下周应该在家里做些什么吗：
- Cubbies: Unit 6: Bear Hug 23
- Kindergarten Sparks (HangGlider handbook): Review or extra credit cards
- 1st Grade Sparks (WingRunner handbook): Review or extra credit cards
- 2nd Grade Sparks (Skystormer handbook): Review or extra credit cards
- T&T (3-6 grade): Unit 4, Evidence: 4.3 Studying God’s word
给父母的特别注意事项：我知道有时候看起来这对孩子每周要求完成很多。我鼓励你至少在他们的书的下一部分与他们一起学习，尽管这可能与老师们要给Cubbies和T＆T上的课无关。我们的目标是让孩子们学习明白上帝的话语以及它与现实生活的联系，而不是徽章或奖励。虽然如此，我们知道许多孩子真的很喜欢获得奖项，我们希望支持那些努力实现这些里程碑的孩子们。按上面列出的完成仅仅是那些想要在年底之前完成他们现有的书的建议节奏。如果有些孩子已经落后，可愿意多完成，请给他们大大的鼓励和支持 （请看我9-16-18 发的电邮）. 如果你们有任何疑问，尤其是新加入的家长，请随时和我，分部负责同工或老师们联系（同工通讯录已在年度开始前发给你们。）

Dear AWANA Parents:
Give thanks to our Lord for invitation by the co-workers and the children, two new friends came to us on Friday night. Gordon and Sherry’s neighbors, Braeden and Blake Homrighous (brothers) participated in portions of sparks time. Rodger Liu, who recently joined Cubbies, also completed the entrance booklet, and will receive his uniform next Friday night at AWANA. Rodger’s sister, Candy, and another sparkie, Annabelle, just got their sparks uniform yesterday. Give thanks also for sisters Jing Pan/ Yuxing / brother Jiunn An who created an AWANA site on the church Chinese website. Some general AWANA information has been uploaded. You can visit the site if you are interested.
Wondering what your clubbers should be working on at home next week:
- Cubbies: Unit 6: Bear Hug 23
- Kindergarten Sparks (HangGlider handbook): Review or extra credit cards
- 1st Grade Sparks (WingRunner handbook): Review or extra credit cards
- 2nd Grade Sparks (Skystormer handbook): Review or extra credit cards
- T&T (3-6 grade): Unit 4, Evidence: 4.3 Studying God’s word
Special Note to Parents: I know at times this can seem like a lot for a child to complete each week. I’d encourage you to simply work with them on the next section on their book, although that may not correlate with the lesson leaders will give for Cubbies and T&T. The goal is that kids learn and understand God’s Word and how it connects to real life, not badges or awards. That being said, we know many kids really enjoy earning the awards and we want to support those who are pushing hard to hit those milestones. What listed above is simply a suggested pacing for those who want to finish their book before the end of the year. If some of the kids are off schedule and falling behind and willing to finish more, please encourage and support them (please refer to my e-mail sent to you on 9-16-18). If you have any question, especially those who join and/or moved up the club recently, please don’t hesitate to contact me, the clubber directors and the leaders (the co-worker list has been sent to you at the beginning of the year).
