FCA (FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN ATHLETES) ROUND 3 WAS IN SESSION 🙌 Today, we wrestled with things not going as planned. Little run down: The planned speaker is out sick so I wrestled finding a speaker. I didn't want to cancel on these kids! Kim had a panic and wrestled with donuts, but McDonalds biscuits were tasty! Here I was wrestling things and here she was wrestling things. When you go into a wrestling match who do you want to tag team to be on your side? God. Who knew it was just God telling us; He's got this and he took care of everything from breakfast to the message because IT WAS ALL PERFECT! ▪️Kim Angeley was our speaker 🔥 Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ▪️We enjoyed some biscuits provided by Cornerstone -- Thank you! ▪️God’s Word was heard -- when life is hard and that wrestling match seems unbearable go in with the confidence and armor of God. ▪️We Prayed for our school, students, staff, and community . *You do not have to be an athlete to participate in FCA -- All 7th - 12th grade students and staff at Wheeler are invited to attend the next FCA event -- 2nd Wednesday of every month!
