Huddle Recap Northwood High School 5-24-11
Dearest FCA Parents,
What an emotional week it has been for NHS students and the Northwood community as we mourn the loss of 14 year old Ashton Sweet who was tragically killed in a car accident Saturday, May 28th. Please continue to pray and lovingly reach out to the Sweet, Rivas, Merassa and Ghaemi families as they start the healing process. Thank you FCA parents for showing your support last night at the prayer vigil as so many of you boldly and beautifully offered prayers of encouragement and love to all parties involved in this tragedy. Thank you for committing to pray around the clock for the next three days as the Sweet family prepares Ashton’s memorial and for her friends as they accept the loss of their dear sweet friend. 1Thessalonians 5:11: Encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
We apologize for getting this recap out so late as the camera memory card went missing and still has not turned up. Hopefully pictures of our Huddle with USC football player Robbie Boyer will surface eventually. Robbie eloquently spoke of God’s deep love for us and the personal relationship He wants to have with each of our students.
Lastly, our final Huddle is next Tuesday, June 7th. We plan to make this last Huddle very student oriented and uplifting as our students need the boost. Jared plans to share a word of encouragement, along with a video montage of this year’s Huddles and teasers for FCA camp at UCLA this July and Young Life camp as well.
Please join us in serving if you can as we believe we will have a larger crowd than usual due to the Sweet tragedy. If you feel led to donate bottled water or baked goods please bring them to the gym by 11:40. If you are able to send a taxable donation to go towards pizza please make checks payable to NHS FCA Huddle, or Monica Younger if you do not need a tax receipt. Thank you parents for another fruitful year of serving and giving generously to fund this growing ministry!!
A GREAT BIG thank you to the following families for your sacrificial giving:
Ludwick
May
Stone
Gusikoski
Leifer
Bowers
Skelly
Cervero

Loving your teenagers,

Huddle Recap Foothill High School 5-25-11
Thank you FCA Parents and Supporters for your prayers and help in supporting Wednesday's Huddle!
Amalia Moghadasnia did a great job sharing her testimony to the 250+ kids who squeezed into the cafeteria! To a very attentive audience, Amalia spoke about her strained relationship with her father and his unexpected death. An event that could have made her very angry, instead prompted her to pray and find God again! She talked about how the support and love of church friends were key in her finding Salvation and developing a meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ. Her simple and sincere words certainly struck a chord with many kids in the audience (and made some moms tear up)! (See the attached picture of Amalia centered between two friends.)
What a blessing it is to hear a teenager boldly proclaim the Truth of the Gospel!
In two weeks, our graduating FCA Seniors will be sharing this Truth at the LAST Huddle of the year!
Please continue to keep Foothill's FCA in your prayers--it is truly only by the grace of God that our campus has been blessed with such an effective ministry!
In Christ,
Linda and Cherie
