Hey, Hey, it's FCA

Wow! Can you believe the first nine weeks of school are already over?

Thank you to every one of you who have been joining us for FCA on Friday mornings. The worship and the speakers have been awesome and we know it will keep getting better. It has been great to see so many of you fired up for God and having a great time.

In case you missed it, on Friday, October 1st, God's Warriors were there to show the strength God has given them. Their strength was evidenced in some crazy physical feats, but also in the testimonies shared by the guys. Fifty-six students accepted Christ as their Savior during God's Warriors' visit. It was a powerful morning at Lovinggood.

October 1st was also the kick-off of the FCA sponsored Cans for Hope Food Drive. FCA is partnering with Refuge West Church in this incredible event. The grades are competing to see who will bring in the most food. The winning grade will be announced on November 5, 2010 and will receive free lunchroom seating! As of this past Friday, Seventh Grade is clearly in the lead! Bring your cans (in a bag, please!) and place them in the bins in front of FCA on Friday mornings or in your respective grade hallway during the week. Most needed items include: spaghetti sauce, tuna, green beans, corn, peas, soups, Chef Boyardee meals, Syrup, Peanut Butter, and Fruit Cocktail. Thank you to those of you who have contributed! You ARE making a difference!

Besides the food drive, FCA leaders and speakers have issued a few personal challenges to you all this year. Colossians 1:11 is this year's foundation and we hope every one of you will memorize this verse. Taking a risk for your peers is another of the issued challenges - step out of your comfort zone and talk to someone about Christ. Invite them to FCA! If you can get them there, we promise to make the experience memorable!

Have a great week, everyone!
