I just wanted to share with all of you how awesome our first IHS Huddle of the year was. It was a huge success with over 140 students in attendance!! Luckily, we had extra pizza and everyone had a great time.
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.
Our guest speaker was Barry Martinez as he typically is our kick-off speaker for the new school year. Barry spoke of his experience in high school, and how he had a coach you would yell at him. He shared about the dejection and humiliation he felt and how he wrestled with feelings of not wanting to return to school due to the embarrassment. He shared how his faith in Jesus helped him. He then told the kids the story of the prodigal son, and how the parable depicts God's amazing availability to forgive and restore us, and His great love that accepts us independently of our status and past. It was very inspiring!
Our Huddles of course could not happen with out the support of our wonderful parents:
Our Pizza sponsor for this huddle was the Nordstrom family.
Baked Goods were lovingly prepared by the Hobbs and Kenney families.
Water bottles were provided by the Johnson and Kamai families.
Our amazing sound system is provided by the Alayra family.
Thank you, also to the dads and moms who rolled up their sleeves during their lunch break to help serve water and pizza. We are so grateful for your help as this ministry continues to expand.
As you can see this club is growing and will only stay afloat with all of our help! If you are able, in these tough times, to donate financially, please send a check made to IHS Athletic Boosters-FCA to: Jodi Nordstrom, 9 Redrock, Irvine, Ca. 92604. (Your 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!
Our next Huddle is Thursday, October 20th!!!
