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 28^th.  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 7^th.    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!!
