Awana Bring-Your-Box Party

In our Awana program we encourage families to pack their own boxes or get together with other families to pack one together. Then we have a Bring-Your-Box party on Saturday afternoon, November 11th from 4:00-5:30pm. During this come and go event, families can bring their boxes and add final touches such as a letter and a picture, make an ornament, and pray over their boxes.
