FCA Huddle Recap- 10/5 Northwood High School

Good Afternoon FCA Families!!

Parents, to our amazement our first NHS Huddle of the year was our BIGGEST yet with approximately 500 students in attendance!!  Yikes…that means we need to purchase more pizza!  To put that in perspective, that is 25% of our student body or a whole grade level!!!  We serve a BIG GOD don’t we?  Our new Assistant Principal Saul Glasser was baffled as to why the lunch tables were so empty during lunch and when he walked into the gym to see that students were gathered for a Christian club, he was in AWE of the crowd as were the parent helpers!  Because of your continued generosity we were able to provide the students with hot pizza, homemade treats and a drink while they heard an inspirational message.  THANK YOU PARENTS for your support!!!    Attached are some fun pictures from the day!

Our guest speaker was Barry Martinez as he typically is our kick-off speaker for the new school year.  Barry spoke of his experience as the starting quarterback in high school, to being demoted one week later to third string quarterback due to a poor performance.  He shared about the dejection and humiliation he felt and how he wrestled with feelings of not wanting to return to school due to the embarrassment of being benched. He shared how his faith in Jesus helped him gain his confidence back and told the students that Jesus is looking to heal their hurts if they are feeling like they don’t measure up or if they have made bad choices.  It was very inspiring!

Thank you, also, to the dads who rolled up their sleeves during their lunch break to help serve water and pizza. We are so grateful for your help as this ministry continues to expand.
