Huddle Recap Foothill: 2-9-11

Dear FCA Parents;
Wednesday's Huddle was incredible! Even with the lunchtime activities, we had a full-house!

Thank you to our faithful prayer warriors for covering the day in prayer. We know that all good things come from God, and Wednesday was another one of His blessings!

Thank you to the Browne, Hughes, Snyder, Barcelona, McNamara, Hohman, Gilchrist, and McBride families who covered our pizza costs. Thank you to our baking moms, Cathie James, Janice Furniss, Christina Zilkow, Andrea Fredericks, Robyn Geis, Cindy Marano, Shirley Lee, Sandy Hughes, Karen Haltman, Lisa Purcell, Kristin McNamara, and Lis Hohman who made sure the kids had plenty of treats. Thanks also to the Sains, Haltman, Yates, Purcell, and Hohman families for supplying water, which was very much needed on Wednesday! And another big thanks to Carrie Pihl, Rudy Sains, Heidi Andrews, Lis Hohman, Sabrina Pendergast (who snagged a friend from work to help), Dianna Rountree, Shawna Howard, Kim Stauffer, Scott Browne, and Lise Flannery who so graciously gave their lunch hour to feed hungry high schoolers!

We were also blessed to have six local youth leaders from Trinity and Calvary, Katie Quesada, Evan Amo, Melissa Brosch, Doug Brown, Ben Harris, and Kristin Gackle, come minister and connect with the kids.
Every Huddle is truly a community effort!

If you have been unable to get your high-schooler to tell you about the Huddle, ask if they raised their hand at the end of Greg's talk. Greg Sengel, high school pastor from The River in Irvine, had quite a testimony! Having come from a background of drugs, sex, and rock and roll (literally), his life was shaken up when a band member died unexpectantly. (Ask your kids what caused the lead singer's death--hint: Greg smashed one of these before the Huddle started!) Greg is passionate about not living for yourself, but choosing to glorify God in your life--he challenged the kids to not only raise their hands, but to verbally make the pledge to do what gives God glory! So many hands went up! So many voices confirmed the desire to live for God!

Every speaker's message is unique, and God uses each one to encourage and challenge our high schoolers. Please continue to pray for these kids at Foothill. Pray for spiritual growth and connection for those who are new Christians. Pray for those who have a personal relationship with Christ to be given the strength, courage, and wisdom each day to do only what honors and glorifies the Lord!
To Christ be the glory for ever and ever! Amen!

Humbly,
Linda and Cher
