Huddle Recap November 5th- Woodbridge HS

Huddle #3 was attended by approximately 185 students.

Answered prayer!  David Hughes, the youth pastor at The Village Church, attended the Huddle and brought with him a portable sound system!  Thank you, David!  What a blessing that sound system is as it raises the energy level and enables everyone in the room to hear our speaker.

Christ-follower and former NFL player Egypt McKee spoke—starting with a falsetto voice that definitely got everyone’s attention.  And he was definitely worth listening to!

·                              It costs to follow Jesus!

·                              Many of us would do well to have a bell dog collar that keeps us from chasing our tail, that keeps us focused only on Christ.

·                               We’re all running around with two words on our t-shirt: “Affirm me!”

·                              Our value is not in what we do but in what Jesus did for us on the cross.

·                              Who do you walk by every day without saying, “Hey! What’s up? My name’s ____”?  Folks like that may wonder, “How can Jesus love me if His followers don’t seem to?”

·                               Life is not about being comfortable; it’s about being available.

·                               How much are you willing to give up to be a Christ follower?

·                               Find an accountability partner!  Get rooted in a church!  Get involved in serving! 

·                              Choose to be a slave to Christ. Yes, a slave!  And everyone in this room is already a slave to something!

·                                God loves you.  God knows all your secrets, and He loves you… in spite of yourself.

·         This isn’t a sermon!  I’m lighting a fire under your butt!

Thank you for these families who supported the Huddle with donations of cookies, water, pizza dollars, plates, napkins, time, and/or prayer:  Avazian, Babb, Coyle, Gaultiere, Gibbs, Grijalva, Haney, Hood, Mellor, Meyers, Moore, Prock, Torrey, and Valentine.

And just when we were settling into a pattern…

·         The next Huddle will be on December 3. (There is no school on November 19, which would have been the next date for a WHS Huddle.)

·         An email signup sheet will be sent out Thanksgiving weekend.

·         Reminder: We order and purchase the pizzas on the Friday before the Huddle.  If you are able and willing to support FCA with a pizza donation, please mail a check to Kris Gibbs, 7 East Yale Loop, 92604 right after you sign up so that we have the money we need when we need it!

Happy Thanksgiving—and know that as we count our blessings this year, we are thanking God for your support of FCA at WHS!
