AWANA: weekly gathering with food, rec, awards, new friends, presenting a Christmas play, Grand Prix race, learning God's Word and more!

AWANA Registration 2026-27

Awana is a kids' celebration of, and getting to know God more! We connect to Him and each other through a variety of exciting ways. At Calvary, our mission is to connect people to Christ and his church.  It is our prayer that we come alongside you, so your child can come to know Jesus for her or him self.  We infuse our time together with stories, games, crafts, activities, music, and more.

This year will include

• "Christmas Slideshow Spectacular" - the kids' Christmas musical on December 13th 
• "Grand Prix Race" - kids will paint and create their own car for a pinewood derby-style night in the spring
• High energy recreation games each week!
• Our friend Koda, a well-known local therapy dog, will join us!
• Bible verses, music, snacks, and connecting with friends each week!

Ages: 2 years old (by 12/1/2025) - 5th grade

Begins: September 13th, weekly, 5-7:15 p.m.

NOTE: One of Alton's most prominent therapy dogs, Koda, will be joining us each week so that kids can recite their completed Bible verses to him! Koda is friendly, full trained, and hypoallergenic. If you have questions about this opportunity, please feel free to note on your child's registration.
