Sparks is the Awana Club for lively kindergartners, 1st- and 2nd-graders. Each club session is divided into three segments. During Green Meadow Time, Sparkies gather for their Bible lesson. During Sparkle Time, clubbers complete handbook sections. In Game Time, Sparkies enjoy games played on the Awana Game Circle. Sparky, the friendly firefly, appears throughout the Bible-based materials to encourage clubbers to complete their handbook achievements. First-time clubbers start with the Sparks Gate Entrance booklet. It is a full-color, six-page booklet, that includes the Sparks key verse, motto, theme song, and pledge to the American and Awana flags. There are three levels of achievement, or ranks, in Sparks. They are Skipper, Hiker and Climber and are designed for the clubbers to finish one level for each of the three years they are in Sparks. Club Key Verse – John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Club Motto – My Friend for Christ Sparks Director – Bryan Gauger
