Club Information
All clubs meet at the Arlington Heights Campus on Tuesday nights beginning September 11, 2012.
Please be aware that The Orchard Evangelical Free Church may need to cancel Awana Clubs in the event of inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances. If the clubs remain open it is ultimately your own assessment to decide whether roads are safe in your area. We trust that you will make conscientious decisions, doing what is best for your family.
As soon as our leadership team makes a decision about cancelling all Awana Clubs for the evening, the following communication procedure will be activated:
- Information will be posted by 1 p.m. on the church website.
- An email will also be sent to all parents whose email addresses are in our database.
