FCA Students Taking Flight for Christ

November 2019

Psalm 100:4 (NKJV)

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

Dear Faith Family,

Whether it’s the end of hurricane season or you changing your clock for Daylight Saving Time, autumn helps us remember that nothing stays the same forever. Change is constant, but that’s all right. God has perfect timing, and His purposes and plans reach into eternity.

Looking to this season of gratitude, there is much to be thankful for here at FCA. I am thankful for the Lord's grace, mercy, and kindness towards our school. I am thankful for the families that God has seen fit to join to us. I am thankful for our dedicated staff whose heart is for the Kingdom and the kids. I am thankful for all the churches represented in our student body, that we can come together under the banner of jesus Christ. I am thankful for you, our friends, that share you time, talents and treasure with us. The love shown by and through our stakeholders make FCA the special place that it is!

Please note the "Upcoming Events" listed to the right. There are many exciting opportunities for our students and for you to connect. Please contact me if I can help facilitate your participation in our activities.

In Faith and Friendship,

Bryan Alvaré

Firefighters reviewed each truck with the students who were able to compare and contrast the purpose and use of each truck. They then reviewed basic safety procedures with our students. Thank you to our local heroes, Nassau County Fire Rescue Station 70!

FCA FALL SPORTS

By Glenn Parrish, Athletic Director

The Faith Christian Academy Angels just completed their fall sport’s season. Our Varsity Football qualified for the Southeastern Christian Conference playoffs and finished fourth in the league. We are looking forward to next year when we will add a senior class and should be one of the top teams. Congratulations to Ty Anders and Derrick Curtis as both were recognized as SECC All-Conference. Derrick also was voted to the All Tournament team. Great job, Derrick!

Our Middle School football team qualified for the playoffs and finished second in the conference. Great job by our Angels, bringing home our first team trophy for the 2019-2020 school year!

Varsity and Middle School Volleyball showed a lot of promise and competed against teams with more experience and depth. The future is bright as we have next level talent at the core of our team and younger players who have great potential. Congratulations to Leilani Powers and Mylee White who were selected as SECC All- Conference.

Our one senior athlete, Hannah McGlinchey, has been accepted to UNF beginning in the fall. Congratulations, Hannah--we wish you the very best!

Our Cross Country team showed improvement and cut their time at every race as the season progressed. Our Angels showed a lot of heart and finished strong. They are planning to work throughout the off season to increase their stamina and times.

Congratulations to Zachary Yale for finishing fifth in the championship race and earning recognition as SECC All-Conference.
