What a beautiful morning to wake up to! Here is a quick recap of our last FCA. We had another great turnout almost too many kids to count, they pretty much filled up the bleachers!!
We had two youth Pastors attend... Greg from the River Church and Jon from Mariners Church. We also had a couple of teachers attend, Mr. Eric Terry (who attends all of our huddles, helps with the set up and clean up) Mrs. Morgan Rosser and her student teacher Linda. Please don’t forget to extend an invite to your youth pastor to come to our huddles. We also would love to have more IHS coaches and teachers attend the Huddles. Please encourage your kids to extend an offer to their teachers and coaches.
Our speaker was Bryce Turi. Bryce is currently the youth Pastor at Calvary Chapel Tustin and a former Irvine High School student. Here is a short recap of what the speaker shared with the kids. The recap was written by one of our FCA student leaders, Valerie Kan...
“At this week's huddle, Bryce from Calvary Chapel in Tustin spoke to us about satisfaction in God. We look for things in our everyday lives in order to find peace, whether that be in a relationship or in worldly possessions, but nothing will fully satisfy us except for God. We need to have faith in Christ alone in order to be satisfied with our own lives. Bryce used this bible verse from John 4:13:
"Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
This spoke to me personally because in my everyday life, everything is always so hectic and busy. Between school, homework, water polo practice, and college applications, there are so many things that I have to worry about. But I know that if I put my life in God's hands and let Him take the wheel, I have faith that He will always come through and whatever He has planned for my life will work out for me in the end.”
Our Huddles of course could not happen with out the support of our wonderful parents:
Our Pizza sponsor for the huddle was the Torrey family. Their donations provide 29 XL pizzas!!
Baked Goods were lovingly prepared by the Carter family. Additional treats were provided by the Kenney family.
Water bottles were provided by the Kamai and Richmond families.
Our amazing sound system is provided by the Alayra family.
Thank you, also to the 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!!)
THANK YOU PARENTS for your support!!! Attached are some fun pictures from the day!
Our next Huddle is Thursday, November 17th!!
Blessings.......
