- Send a teaching video and a couple of questions pertaining to that week’s section. Have the leaders call the clubbers and ask the questions and listen to verses.
- Survey parents to find the best way to communicate and how they are comfortable meeting.
- Create a YouTube channel for your club.
- Create specific time slots for clubbers to say verses and meet with leaders.
- Set up tables in the parking lot for families to “do club” together (if restrictions permit) (e.g. do crafts, table games, have opportunity to say verse, large group time)
- Do Zoom meetings from the church Awana rooms
