Evan has been attending the AWANA Cubbies program at Kingsburg First Baptist for two years now. It's been a great way for him to socialize with other kids his age and be in a classroom type setting since he did not attend preschool. He memorizes scripture each week and recites it back to his leaders in order to earn patches for his vest.
Last year, Evan completed all 26 verses. This year, he has also completed all 26 verses. It is so exciting as a parent to see him hide God's word in his heart and recite it back in times when it applies to his life. He really "gets it".
This year we were able to attend his Awards Night as a family. Kaylee colored to stay occupied until it came time for the actual awards.
Evan was the first up from his group... 
Look how proud he is of his accomplishment! 
After awards, they have an ice cream social in the downstairs hall. Evan LOVES ice cream! 
And so does Kaylee :) 
Evan is already excited and talking about graduating to the next level of AWANA. This August, he will be old enough to be in "Sparks", which is the K-2nd grade group. I can't wait to see how he grows and matures as he learns how to apply God's word in his everyday life.
