What is a partial team? NEW THIS YEAR! Individual registrations will be accepted this year for AwanaGames.

The Summit contact person will be notified the week of February 12 of team placement.

Psalm 1
Blessed is the man…

Psalm 1 gives us a wonderful blueprint of how we should be living our life. It is terrific passage of Scripture that we should all commit to memory.

As a gift to Art Rorheim, the co-founder of Awana, we are encouraging all Summit attendees to memorize Psalm 1. During Summit we will recite it in unison for Art.

Click here to download the Psalm 1 passage. We are asking that everyone memorize Psalm 1 in the King James Version, to make the group recitation all in the same version.
