COURAGEOUS is the newest film from the makers of Fireproof. Awana believes every parent should see this extraordinary film about restoring spiritual fatherhood. It's already changing families. Audiences at early screenings have been deeply moved – through laughter, tears and prayer – to get serious about biblical parenting.

We urge you and your church to take part in the experience. Join us on Saturday, October 1 for National Awana Movie Day, a local outreach for the entire family!

Find out where COURAGEOUS is showing near your church on October 1. Then ask Awana parents and church members to invite their friends to attend the movie while their kids go to a special Awana party at your church. Both groups will hear the gospel and have a great time!

Parents enjoy a stirring, Christ-centered film about family complete with action, comedy and emotion. Dads and moms will love a day at the theater knowing their kids are safe and having fun.

Kids are treated to a fun-filled day just for them! Club-themed activities will get children excited about your Awana ministry. This event can be as simple or elaborate as your church chooses!

Families reunite at church. This is your opportunity to empower parents, particularly fathers, to respond promptly to God's call for spiritual family leadership. Show parents that your church is ready to support them.

• Appoint parent advocates to walk alongside dads and moms.
