Here is a quick recap about our huddle on Thursday....
We had an awesome turn out, especially for our first Huddle after the long break. We had over 150 kids show up.
Before listening to the speaker, there was a quick ‘peanut butter sandwich eating’ contest. Check out the video on our Facebook page... “Fellowship of Christian Athletes”
I had one of our FCA student leaders, Brittany Carter, write a short description of our speaker’s, Paul Roh, message: (Paul is also a student leader in FCA)
This week, IHS senior Paul Roh spoke. He told everyone his testimony. In middle school and through the beginning of high school, he made some bad choices and got into partying. But, through the influence of his pastor and his girlfriend his life has changed completely and he can now not only call himself a Christian but a disciple of God. I really think that his story resonated with other kids because he is our age and his story is so similar to many that were there today. I was very impressed because I’m sure he must have been really nervous to get up in front of everyone but he did a really great job.
We also had Greg Seneca, who is the youth pastor from The River Church at our huddle. Greg came to just hang with the kids. It is so awesome to see the kids approach these youth pastors to ask questions or even just visit with them. 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:
- Pizza – Several families pitched in this week to sponsor our Huddle....Alayra family, Harker family, Hobbs family and the Deklotz family. They helped provide over 25 pizzas to feed all the kids!
- Baked Goods were lovingly prepared by the the Hobbs and Kenney families.
- Water bottles were provided by the Carter family.
- Our amazing sound system is provided by the Alayra family.
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!
THANK YOU PARENTS for your support!!! Attached are some fun pictures from the day!
