A New Season of FCA

There are going to be some new changes this year in FCA.  First we are going to be meeting in the MPR or what I like to call the "New Worship Hall" :) We will continue to meet every Friday at 7:30.  Please be on time!  It is very important to be in the NWH by 7:30 because we have a limited amount of time to praise God by praying and reading His word.  Any teacher staff that is helping with FCA has to stop participating by 7:50.  This is a legal matter.  We can still be supervising in the hall, but cannot participate in a Godly activity.  I know that's crazy, but those are the rules.  If you notice 7:30 to 7:50 isn't the longest amount of time, so we have to use it wisely.  FCA will end at 8:00 before students start to eat their breakfast in the morning.  We will continue to provide a snack at the end which will be eaten in the NWH.  

I'm looking forward to this year.  Our two main areas FCA will focus on are prayer and understanding the entire book of Matthew.  We will be studying all areas of prayer.  For us to become "Pray Warriors" we need to bring a journal to school.  We will call it our pray journal.  This is very necessary for writing down prayers that you want to repeat, remember, understand, look back on, and help others with.  We will use our pray journals daily.  

Our FCA leaders will be reading Matthew a few steps ahead of everyone else.  Their job will be to run and support Team FCA by coming up with questions about each days readings, and specific pray requests.  They will plan main events and activities.  They are the heart and soul of FCA.  They run the show.  My job is to facilitate them into becoming outstanding FCA leaders. 

I hope you visit this website every week.  The FCA leaders will be working hard to come up with questions and a thought of the week which will be posted every Friday after our meeting.  By doing so you can become very involved with your child's Spiritual life.  Asking the same questions at dinner time or over the weekend is a great way to reiterate the Gospel.  This is a win-win for everyone.  

Thank you for visiting this site and my hope and pray is that your child will come to know Christ at a young age and to know Him well.  Thanks again for your support and prayers.  

Pray and Play 09

This was an awesome experience for everyone involved.  We prayed for our school, the students, sports teams, staff, friends, and family.  Then we played knock out, kickball, and capture the flag.  In between games we prayed some more.  This will be a definite repeat every year.  

Team FCA Looking Good

This is just some of the FCA team that made it all the way through the day of washing cars.  Thank you so much for your help and hard work.  Your dedication for showing Christ's love is amazing and the students of Riverview are loving every minute of FCA.
