Awana Directors Greg and Michelle Gilstad have announced that the Awana Program at Martha (OK) Road Baptist Church will start back on August 24 for the 2022-23 school year. 

During a typical Awana night the children and youth are involved in Bible study, Scripture memory and recreation activities during the hour and a half program. When the clubbers recite Scripture verses and complete their handbooks they are awarded special patches and pins they can wear on their Awana uniforms.

Awana is a non-denominational organization that partners in ministry with the local church.  The Awana name stands for “Approved Workman are Not Ashamed”, which comes from the Bible verse found in 2 Timothy 2:15.  There are approximately 12,000 churches with Awana clubs in the U.S. as well as 13,000 international Awana programs. 

Awana takes place on Wednesdays from 5:55 – 7:30 PM throughout the school year.  For more information please contact the church at 482-3377 or the church website at www.martharoad.org. Martha Road Baptist Church is located four miles north of Wal-Mart on Highway 283
