Irvine Huddle Recap

                                  Good Morning FCA Families!!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend  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 several youth Pastors in attendance!!

Our speaker was Jon Mcbirney from Mariners Church.

I asked Da-Chen Huang, one of our Senior FCA student leaders to write as short description of Jon’s message.  Here it is:
“Jon shared with us that everyone has a story. Whether you’re battling cancer or entering a UCI track meet every story is unique. We live every day for a new experience. Life keeps coming at you so you got to make the best of it. God invites you to a life of adventure. Don’t be afraid to come to him because you don’t think your good enough. God already knows everything about you but still loves you unconditionally. If you can trust him life won’t be perfect but it will be very fulfilling. There’s is a life of light out there for everyone and you can choose to come out of the darkness. Create a new story and greater experiences with Christ. There is a cost of living in Christ and a cost of living without him. The cost of living without him is greater. You are invited to an everlasting life with Christ.”
The kids really connected with Jon’s message.  Afterwards, Jared shared with everyone this wonderful news....
Nathan Schwegman (the young man who spoke a few weeks back and all of the kids prayed over) was told he had one year to live a few months ago, because of stage 4 melanoma. As of Tuesday April 10th, he is 98% cancer free! ...God is the healer!

Our Huddles of course could not happen with out the support of our wonderful parents:   
Baked Goods were lovingly provided by the Carter & 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!!)
