THANK YOU for your support and prayers ... today's Huddle was extremely well attended again with about 180 students on the first day of Homecoming Week! And this time, we were better prepared thanks to your generous donations. We had just enough pizza and cookies to go around.
The students started off with a crazy game of being human pretzels (I'm sure there's a real name for this game but I didn't hear it) and then had an amazing message by Jon McBirney from Mariner's Church. He connected with the students and it's great to see them relate with speakers like Jon!
I love seeing the smiling faces of these students. I especially love seeing the faces of those who I can tell aren't as connected as many of the kids, but instead is just coming for the pizza. I've been watching this one boy who came to each Huddle last year - at first, he only came for the pizza and then snuck out before the message started. But he still comes and now he hangs out for the message and actually participated in the game today. It's awesome!
A special thank you to the following families for helping make this week's pizza lunch happen:
Pizza Money Donation: Kennedys, Greenbergs, Gibbs', Coyles, Mellors, Haneys, and van Perseums
Water: Councils, Werdermans and Van Horns
Cookies: Babbs, Guests, Clausens, Gaultieres and Escalantes
Plates: Griffins
Set up, serve & clean up: Cheri Babb, Lisa Guest, Kris Gibbs and Kim Coyle
We are so grateful to you and we also thank everyone for their continued prayers. And as always, we are so thankful for Anne Walton, our teacher Advisor for FCA! It was great to see as many students at this second Huddle, even after we had to turn so many away last time. God is great!
Our next Huddle will be on November 7!
