We had 10 students present this morning. We are in prayer for those involved in the accident that is holding up the traffic. We also were in prayer for Sophia’s mom, Isaac’s friend, Carlie’s friend’s dad, and others who are experiencing major health issues. Haley supplied the group with snacks this morning–thanks,  Haley!

Setting Priorities! We discussed how much time we spend during the day doing our normal tasks and routines. We realized that many of us understand and have the desire to take time to spend with God, but don’t always follow through. We made a commitment with another person to set aside 15 minutes every day to study God’s word.  Remember to keep the prayer requests in mind as you study your Bible.

Carl led the devotion from Ephesians 6:10-18, reminding us to put on the full armor of God and to be prepared. He also shared a story about a man who was in an accident  but was prepared with an emergency kit in the trunk. We need to be prepared, having the scriptures in our hearts and minds so that we can share when the time comes.

Abby shared brownies (yum!) as the group discussed how this scripture relates to each individual.

Isaac volunteered to prepare the devotion for next Thursday’s Bible Study.

Carl B. will provide tomorrow’s scripture–so be prepared to meet in NGuthrie’s room at 7:15!!!!

FCA Intramural Competitions every other Friday. TBA for the exact dates.

When did the man actually start seeing? What does this teach us about God’s healing and our own obedience?

The FCA raised $486. 39. This check was given to Theresa and Randy Allen who represent the Crystal Coast Chapter of the Amercian Red Cross. We would like to thank everyone for donating money to help the victims of the Haiti earthquake.

We should be in God’s word, open to others, helping in understanding the Bible. We can be followers in Christ together, helping each other.

The group today decided to start reading scripture ahead of our time together so that when we meet we can be better prepared to talk about God’s word to us.

Please look at the page listed as Bible Study Outline for the dates and scriptures to be read.

We talked about our attitude when we give and how God continues to bless us. We want to help others so we continue to focus on praying and raising money for the Haitians.

We have been praying for the Haiti victims and those who are helping to serve their needs. We have collected $109.86 during the ballgame last week and yesterday during the ballgame we collected $84.65. The school teams continue to collect change during lunch and we plan to pass an envelope to the teachers this week. Our final collection will be on Thursday during the basketball game. All proceeds will go to the Red Cross to help the Haiti victims. Please be with us in prayer to help those in need.

We have been praying for a friend of Deanna’s who is in the hospital. We also are in prayer for those in Haiti.

We have decided that our fund raiser for the Haitians will take place through next Friday, Feb. 5th. We will have jars set up on on teams (via the team leaders) and we will also have a jar set up at the concession stand during the next two home games. Please help us through your prayers that people will be led to generously donate money to go to the Red Cross to help the people in Haiti.
