Handbook time is the first section of the club evening, and takes place right after a quick opening welcome and prayer.

Handbook time is a 30 minute segment that enables leaders to work individually with clubbers to challenge them to accept Christ as their saviour and grow spiritually. Emphasis is placed on helping clubbers achieve in Bible memory and teaching applications.

Our clubbers learn verses and recite them to their leaders. The Bible verses are reviewed with the leaders to ensure each child is not only memorizing the verses but also understanding them so that the children can use them in their daily lives.

Using achievement oriented learning segments, Awana training emphasizes the importance of God and His Word for sound living. Clubbers progress through workbooks at their own pace, and leaders meet with them individually to go over what they have learned.

Clubbers are awarded for their achievements as they progress through the handbooks, with stickers or "jewels" that they can earn and collect.
