Awana approaches

I have begun preparations for the upcoming Awana year at our church. While I have thoroughly enjoyed my month+ of time off between wrapping up last year and starting this year, it is sadly coming to an end.

I have spent several hours yesterday and today working on various documents to hand out. I guess I just really wanted to share how much I like Microsoft Publisher!

I made this flyer to hand out to the kids at VBS next week:

And this calendar to hand out to the workers I plan on browbeating into serving in the next few weeks.

You can absolutely make things prettier, but we don't have a color copier at church, so I'll stick with B&W and save my printer's ink.

Anyway, I joke about my free time coming to an end, but I am super-excited for this Awana year to start. I accepted the "commander" position way late last year and am loving having all of this time in advance to plan and really get things ready so no one is rushed or overworked (namely, me). I can once again put my obsessive planning tendencies to good use, and remedy all the mistakes I saw last year but didn't have the time or energy for which to plan a "workaround".

I love Awana, and love having a part in teaching kids to have the love of God's word that I have. It is incredible.

I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

Psalm 119:11
