A Way for Sparkies to Bless
Our Troops
Have each Sparkie fill out a prayer card with his or her name, some information about your Awana club and a prayer for safety. On the back, print the name and address of your church. Mail the cards to those serving in the armed forces. If a clubber gets a letter in return, he or she gets a prize. From Layton Mathews, Calvary Bible Church, Lapeer, Michigan

Sparks Director Who Feared Change Loves HangGlider
Bonnie Linden does not like change. In fact, it scares her. As Sparks director for the past 16 years at Camden Baptist Church in Wellington, Ohio, that’s exactly how she felt when she heard Awana was coming out with the new HangGlider materials.

Until she tried them.

“The new material is fantastic!” Bonnie said. “The HangGlider Handbooks are so colorful and fun. They make learning God's Word something to look forward to each day. The CDs were a brilliant idea. Kids and parents spend so much time in the car, and now they can use that time wisely.”

Bonnie’s autistic daughter, in her second year of Sparks, is the best testimony for the new materials.

“Now she says at least two verses at a time to me with no helps (reference included),” Bonnie shared. “It is so much fun to listen to her. Our club also has a little boy who has Down syndrome. He loves his new book! He has already earned his book and vest.

“Thank you, Awana, for making this new program. I am amazed at the number of kids who do not know the fundamentals of the Scriptures. We have so many kids that do not attend Sunday school or church. The only time they hear God's Word is in Awana.”

How to Use Flight 3:16
You may have some questions about the sections and sign offs in Flight 3:16. Here is some information that will help you!

Your chart is correct - there are six sections that need to be signed off on. Yes, there is a sign off missing from the back of the booklet. So here is how Sections 4, 5 and 6 should look:

Section 4 - Clubber recites whole verse.
Section 5 - Clubber answers questions.
Section 6 - Clubber attends club twice.

We apologize for the confusion. We will be making chages to Flight 3:16 so that when it's reprinted, it will be accurate.
