FCA Huddle Recap--We are Thankful November 16th

Good Afternoon FCA Families!

The NHS FCA Family has much for which to be thankful for!!  As we pause to thank God for His gracious bounty, we are compelled to thank Him for you!

As so many families continue to be stretched financially we are thankful you have chosen to give generously to FCA as EVERY dollar donated goes directly to fund the Huddles.  We are thankful for all of the moms and dads who FAITHFULLY show up to sling pizza and bring homemade baked goods for our students to enjoy.  We are thankful for our dedicated Coaches and Administrators who fully support the work of FCA and pull strings for us when we need a favor (Thank you Tim, Rick and Saul!!).  We are thankful for MIT who pray faithfully for our students and teachers and for our new YoungLife staff as they walk our campus at 6:30 A.M. to pray for God’s blessing and protection over our school.  We are thankful for our guest speakers who continue to bring a challenging and relevant message to our students.  We are thankful for our Leadership team of students and “Team FCA” as a lot of planning goes on behind the scenes to have a successful Huddle. Lastly, we are THANKFUL for Jared Hall our Irvine FCA Leader as he is wise beyond his years and dedicated to reaching our kids with the Gospel message.   Give thanks to the Lord for He is good!!

Finally, we must mention that our last Huddle was a full house as our guest speaker Sean Afable spoke of his actingexperience in the movie “To Save a Life”.  Our students had the opportunity to see the movie trailer followed by a question and answer time with Sean.  Sean emphasized the importance of being in the company of like mindedChristian friends as he relied on the Christian cast of the movie for encouragement as his parents announced they were filing for divorce while filming.  Sean’s message was honest and relevant because he shared from his heart about his real life experiences that related directly to the movie storyline.  We concluded the Huddle with a raffle giveaway of a signed copy of the movie “To Save a Life”, popcorn and movie candy.   We hope you will support our efforts to show the movie again by encouraging your student and their friends to attend one last showing in the month of January.  We will keep you updated!!

We must mention a big THANK YOU to Kate Gisch.   As you will see in the photos this week, she joyfully packs the back of her car with all of the pizzas for the students for every Huddle!!   I can assure you, the aroma in her car reminds her of our students and the Huddle all day long!!


Our next Huddle is next Tuesday, December 7th.   If you would like to donate money for the pizzas, please send a check made out to Monica Younger to:  Monica Younger, 26 Rincon, Irvine, Ca. 92620.   Thank you in advance for your incredible generosity, especially at this time of year!


Blessings to you and your family!!
