Fellowship of Christian Athletes

Wardlaw's FCA exists to present to athletes and coaches, and all whom they influence, the challenge and adventure of

receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, serving Him in their relationships and in HIM in their relationships and in the

fellowship of the church.

The Huddle Leaders for 2007-2008 are: Katelyn Rutland (Senior),Harriett Graham Courtney (Senior), Kristina Graves (Senior),

Justin Ouzts (Senior), Hannah Scott (Senior), Ryan Terry (Junior), Coty Courtney (Sophmore), and Trudi Belcher (Sponsor).

This year the FCA is adding new things.  The Huddle Leaders are studying the "Experience God" study and conducting their

own school missions for their huddles.  Their missions include selecting Christian Athlete of the Week, Christian music in

the morning, prayer on the intercom in the morning, Bible studies/devotions with each huddle, Bible stories in the lower

school, prayer in classrooms, around the pole, before games and a blessing before lunch each day.  One huddle is

conducting prayer walks before each home game and please come join us for this time. Any FCA member will know what

time the walk will take place.

FCA Picnic

The members of FCA celebrated God's goodness to us this year by praising Him at our end-of-year picnic.

wonderful weather and we give all glory and honor to Him!
