DGC's Mr. and Ms. Awana

Last November 23, 2008, we had our Mr. and Ms. AWANA. Since there are four teams (blue, red, yellow, and green), each team were represented by one girl and one boy.

Since AWANA is about Bible verses and knowing God, each contestant has her/his own memory verse and they were wearing costumes based on some Bible characters.

Here are some stills during the said event.
