So since no new work has been done on the youth room to report today, I thought I would once again go back a little ways and update you on the things that I failed to update you on previously.
Our Awana Awards Night was held on May 7th. While there were many awards given out that night I am mainly going to focus on the Trek (Jr. High) and Journey (Sr. High) awards since this is the YOUTH Blog.
The Meritorious Award is given to an individual who has completed 6 handbooks (4 TnT, and 2 Trek in our case). This year we had 5 recipients of the Meritorious Award - Becca Arnold, Katie D'Argento, Jenn D'Argento, Johnny DeVries, and Ryan Stelter. They did a lot of hard work to earn this award and have memorized many verses. Congratulations to them on a great job.

The Citation is the final award in Awana and few continue on this far to receive this award. The recipients of the Citation Award have put in a lot of hard work. This award also signifies responsibility and dedication. The real reward is not the plaque that is received (although it is certainly nice) but the growth in God's Word and the commitment of God's Word to memory. For the Citation Award, we ask the parents to present this award to the kids. It is very special for them to do that. Not only have the recipients of this award put in a lot of hard work, but so have their parents who have helped and encouraged them along the way to achieve this goal.
This year we had 2 seniors who received this Award - Melinda Hernandez and Brad Mulligan. They were the first group to achieve this award who were in Cubbies through Journey at CBC. Great job guys!!
