Here is a quick recap of our last FCA Huddle. Once again, the turnout was incredible, the bleachers were packed. Lots of new faces too. We even had the Youth Pastor from New Hope church join us!!
Our speaker this week was Epi Garcia. He is the youth pastor at Bethany Church of Sierra Madre.
I asked Jeremiah Carter, one of our Junior FCA student leaders to write as short description of Epi’s message. Here it is:
“In this weeks FCA huddle, Epi _ spoke. He talked about if we love God with a "brotherly love"(phileo) or if we really love God in the sense that we adore Him and we would do anything for Him (agape). The reason he asked this is because God wants us to love Him in a passionate way and not like "I go to church once a week and I'm cool with God" love. He wrapped his talk up speaking about a mom and her daughter and how the daughter ran away. Even though the daughter ran away, the mom told her that she doesn't care what she has done or where she's been, she just wants her back home. This was an example of how much God loves us and how He feels about us and that no matter what we do or where we go, that He will always love us and accepts us unconditionally. It was great to hear that afterwards, someone who had never been to FCA before, asked Jared for a bible. ”
As you can see by Jeremiah’s recap, Epi really connected with the kids and his message of God’s love was powerful.
Our Huddles of course could not happen with out the support of our wonderful parents:
Our Pizza sponsors for this huddle was the Nordstrom family.
Baked Goods were lovingly provided by the Torrey & Kenney families.
Water bottles were provided by the Johnson and Chronley 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!!)
