Sorry for the delay in getting this out to all of you!!! Here is a quick recap of our last FCA Huddle. Before the speaker, the students competed in a relay game.....of passing the orange....attached pictures will explain =).
Our speaker was Creg Darby. Creg is the Family Ministries Pastor and Free Chapel Church in Irvine.
I asked Zoey Shade, one of our Junior FCA student leaders to write as short description of Creg’s message. Here it is:
“ Last Thursday Pastor Creg came to us and talked about being a fighter. In the beginning of his life, he was involved in physical fighting and after finding Christ that part of him evolved into emotionally fighting. Pastor Creg shared with us, that even though it's easy to give up when things get hard, or just quit when it seems like things won't ever get better, you have to keep fighting. God doesn't want you to give up and even if you're only fighting back inch by inch, God wants you to keep fighting through life. Any heart with Christ in it is a strong one and Pastor Creg reminded all of us just how strong we can be. ”
At the end of Pastor Creg’s message, he invited kids to make a decision for Christ. He asked all of the students to bow their heads and then asked those that wanted to make that decision to raise their hands. As hands were raised, Pastor Creg would congratulate each raised hand, so while we all had our eyes closed, we all were aware of how many hands were being raised. It was such a powerful and moving moment.
Our Huddles of course could not happen with out the support of our wonderful parents:

Baked Goods were lovingly provided by the Lee and Hobbs 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.
