Highlights from our Awana Volunteer Team Meeting 8/19/21

Thanks for all who were able to make it to the Awana Volunteer Team Meeting last night!  If you weren't able to attend, I've included some of the major highlights.

Belong, Believe, Become

Please watch this short 4 min video and think about how RCBC's new Mission statement "Delighting in God who sends us to share His love across our communities" associates with the 3Bs from Awana's Child Discipleship Philosophy.
