January-events (2011)

Dear FCA Parents,

We hope the New Year finds you and your family doing well!!  We have much to be excited about as FCA is starting the New Year off with a BANG!!  

First, A BIG thank you to Tim Lukei as he was our guest Huddle speaker for December.  Tim is a High School Pastor at Mariners Church in Irvine and has a great reputation with a lot of our students.  Tim spoke of some of the struggles he faced in high school and encouraged our students to not make the same mistakes.  His message was very engaging as 3 students stayed after to speak with Tim about their similar struggles.  Thank you, Tim, for being so committed and available to our students at all hours of the day and night. 

Secondly, this coming Tuesday, Jan. 18th, we have our first Huddle of the year. Our guest speaker is going to share about the tragic loss of his 18 year old son to an accidental drug overdose.  Please be in prayer for our students and speaker as this is sure to be an emotional Huddle.  Ernesto’s message will follow with the movie trailer “To Save a Life”. 

Northwood‘s FCA Leadership is hosting another movie night on Saturday, January 22nd at 6:00 p.m. in the NHS Theater.  NHS is partnering with neighboring FCA Huddles from the following high schools to show this very provocative movie: Beckman, Irvine, University, Woodbridge and Mater Dei (Please see movie trailer). We are working on getting a local eatery to sponsor food for the evening. If we are successful at getting a sponsor we will start at 5:00 p.m. to ensure the movie starts on time.

Lastly, we need your help, parents, to encourage your students and their friends to attend this “FCA movie night” as it is a “FREE” event.  Our NHS Theater has the capacity to hold 650 students and our goal is to meet that capacity with a lot of prayer from you and word of mouth from our students.  FCA plans to make this a safe alternative and memorable evening for all of those in attendance.  If you are interested in helping in some small way to help fund this event see the following:

n      Donate any amount to pay for our tech guy $100
n      Raffle items for our movie night in $5.00 -10.00 increments (McDonald’s, Chipotle, In-n-out, Costco, movie tickets, ITunes, gift cards your kids don’t want from Christmas, etc.)             

With the Huddle coming up next week, we are asking for donations of desserts, waters and money.  Please make all future check donations out to: FCA, as we now have non-profit status which allows your donation to be a tax write off!!  Thank you to Jeff Younger for making this possible!!  Please continue to send all donations to: Monica Younger at 26 Rincon, 92620.  

Thank you as always for continuing to pray for this incredible ministry at NHS!!!

In Him,
