Good Evening FCA Families!!
Happy Thanksgiving!! I wanted to send out a quick recap from our last huddle before the start of our Thanksgiving break.
We had an even a bigger turnout than our first two huddles, over 140 kids!!!
After eating pizza, the kids played a quick game .... Something to do with Hula Hoops and holding hands. I don’t know if we ever figured out who the winners were, but the kids still had lots of fun.
I had Josh Nordstrom, the FCA leadership president write a short description of our speaker, Josh Saenz;
Hey fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. The FCA huddle this Thursday went great. We had the High School pastor from the Pacific Church of Irvine, Josh, speak at the huddle. The message he gave was phenomenal. His life was completely different from the speaker at our last huddle. Josh was raised in a perfect Christian home and he built his whole life around being the perfect achiever. He thought of himself as God’s gift to the world. But then his world fell apart, when his mom left his family. Josh grew to realize that we as humans aren’t perfect and that is why we need God’s perfect love. His message encouraged me as a believer to live my life for God because of His perfect love. The turnout for the huddle was awesome, we had about 150 kids show up and all of them were fixated on Josh as he spoke. Thanks again for all the support.
Until Next Time,
Josh Nordstrom
In addition to having a great speaker, Steven Johnson from Good Shepherd Church in Irvine came and just ‘hang’ with the kids. He also brought a couple of large boxes of chips for the kids to have with their pizza!! We would love to have your youth pastor come to our huddles, so please extend them an invitation.
Of course, our huddles could not happen with out your help....here is who stepped up to the plate this week:

Thank you, also to the moms 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.
Your continued generosity will make it possible for us to be continue to provide the students with hot pizza, homemade treats and a drink... all while hearing an inspirational message. If you are interested in sponsoring a Huddle, please contact me via email – jmnordy@cox.net As you can see this club is growing and will only stay afloat with all of our help! (Your financial donations are tax deductible!!)
If you are able to donate waters or baked good on the day of the Huddle, please email me. You can either drop them off at the school gym the day of the huddle or beforehand at my house. If you are able to help serve these hungry students, please show up at the gym at 11:30 on the day of the Huddle. And most of all, we ask that everyone please pray for this ministry as kids continue to come with a curiosity and a hunger for meaningful inspiration!
