Celebrate Your Kids’ Ministry Achievements With New, Improved Awana Clubs Awards!
Celebrate your kids’ ministry achievement with new and improved Awana Clubs awards! After a year of development with our internal team and missionaries, and feedback from ministry leaders like you, we are excited to launch new club accomplishment awards! These new awards will arrive Jan. 14, 2022 and are available for Awana Cubbies, Sparks, T&T and Trek.
Designed with high-quality materials and eye-catching designs, these awards celebrate the accomplishments of the children and youth in your ministry and match the efforts your kids put into achieving them. Encouraging participation and spiritual growth, our hope is that these will also serve as lifelong keepsakes for the accomplishments of the children in your club. Check out our Awards Transition Guide for a full overview of the new awards, including dimensions and pricing, and the old awards they will replace.
With the arrival of the new awards comes the transition from the old award styles, which are still available while supplies last. In the following Awards Transition Update Video, Chief Operating Officer of Awana Kevin White joins Awana Community Engagement Manager Melanie Hester to share about the transition and provide helpful tips and information as you prepare for this exciting change.
Get ready now to order for your club’s awards season by learning about the new and improved, keepsake-style items below!
Cubbies
Celebrate AppleSeed and Honeycomb Handbook completion with Cubbie Bear medallions, featuring breakaway lanyards. The medallions will replace the current ribbon awards.
Sparkies
Sparks awards will transition from ribbons to medallions. They will also transition from a plaque and pin to a metal Sparky sculpture.
Sparkies who complete their first handbook are awarded a Sparky medallion, featuring HangGlider Sparky hanging from a breakaway lanyard. Those who complete their second handbook will receive a medallion featuring WingRunner Sparky.
Sparkies who finish all three Sparks handbooks receive a Sparky Award Sculpture. This two-tone gold, mini sculpture is sure to bring a sense of accomplishment to your Sparkie’s handbook achievement.
Truth and Training
Acrylic T&T award displays will transition to metal medallions. The Timothy Award will transition to crystal.
Celebrate the successful completion of one, two or three handbooks with the new award medallions, featuring breakaway lanyards.
Celebrate the successful completion of four handbooks with a striking trophy. Made of crystal and engraved with 2 Timothy 2:15, it will honor any child who reaches this accomplishment.
Trek
The Trek awards will transition to a medallion and crystal display. Celebrate the students who complete one year of Trek by awarding them this metal medallion, featuring a breakaway lanyard.
This impressive award marks completion of any six third- through 12th- grade handbooks or studies, including New Testament summaries and all associated activities. The new crystal award, engraved with Matthew 28:19-20, comes with a box for safekeeping and travel.
We are so excited to offer these new and improved awards! While you are working diligently week after week at building lifelong, resilient disciples of Jesus, our prayerful hope is that the awards support the encouragement and accomplishment of the students you serve.
