Awana Grand Prix
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
We Baptists have this church program for the kids called AWANA. (Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed, in case you were wondering.) Every year they have a Grand Prix event where the kids (read: parents) make a car out of a block of wood.
I’m glad that when we’re called to be like Jesus, that doesn’t require carpentry skills. Otherwise, I’d be in a mess. I did what I could, but the car wasn’t exactly stylish (or fast). Kaitlyn had fun painting it, and that’s really what the whole night is about.
She came in 3rd place in her race. She didn’t win the trophy for speed (like I did when I was 6) or for design (for obvious reasons), but she did get a ribbon for participation.
I snapped a quick photo of her putting her car on the track while track master Rocky Durbin watches:

She definitely should have won both. I guess she did not have the quality help you did that helped you win the trophy for speed.

I use to be in Awana…it was a lot of fun and a good program for kids.

I remember doing a few pinewood derbies when I was in AWANA as well… so much fun.

Hmmm, but was carpentry Jesus’s earthly trade?
