I hope you had a wonderful spring break. I wanted to send you all a quick recap of our last FCA Huddle right before the break. Once again, the turnout was incredible, the bleachers were packed. Lots of new faces too.
Our speaker was Steve Johnson. He is the high school pastor from Good Shepherd Lutheran.
I asked Hannah Torrey, one of our Senior FCA student leaders to write as short description of Steve’s message. Here it is:
“At our last Thursday's huddle, Steven Johnson from Good Shepherd spoke about Easter. He laid out a clear explanation of the history of Easter – how Jesus told the disciples that He would get arrested, and how Peter would deny Him three times before the rooster crowed. Steven taught us that the Easter story is one of hope because God loves us so much that he sent His son to die on the cross for our debts, and that putting our trust in worldly things is pointless because of what Jesus did for us. He asked us "what are we putting our hope in?" and "why are we looking for the living upon the dead?". Steven encouraged us to not live a lukewarm Christian life, but to pursue God with everything we have because once we've experienced God, our lives should change drastically, and that everything in the world will disappoint except God. He told the Easter story clear for students hearing it for the first time, but also related it to those who have been Christians, and urged us to give all we have to Christ. It was awesome that he was able to present the Easter story to new listeners, but also everyone else because we can never hear enough of the good news! ”
As you can see by Hannah’s recap, Steven’s message was perfectly timed with Easter and he really connected with the kids.
Our Huddles of course could not happen with out the support of our wonderful parents:
Our Pizza sponsors for this huddle were the Pittaluga and Fox families.
Baked Goods were lovingly provided by the Searl, Hobbs & Kenney families.
Water bottles were provided by the Johnson family.
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!!)
