Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV)
Fear not, for I
am
with you;
Be not dismayed, for I
am
your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
Dear FCA Family and Friends,
Much has happened since our last e-newsletter.
For all intents and purposes, the world has stood still.
Many people find themselves in different health and work situations. This time has given many the opportunity to reflect on what it most important- our families and our faith. I pray that this correspondence finds you in good spirits and in good health. I'm grateful that the Lord is there to strengthen and uphold us through it all!
Over the weekend, the FCA administration and school board made the decision to continue our remote learning program for the rest of the school year. The buildings may be closed, but school is still in session! So proud of how our staff, students and families have rallied around our remote learning model.
Please keep reading to explore some of the great things our FCA students and staff are doing!
If I can help you in any way, please let me know.
God bless,

Every piece of art tells a story. The students learned the importance of street art and murals. Murals play a roll in history and culture, enhance civic spaces, reflects society, and adds uniqueness to the community. We explored numerous murals and a variety of street art across our country. We discussed opportunities as a muralist and the time necessary to complete a piece. Fernandina Beach is rich with murals and street art in which we viewed images and a video of a local muralists, David Nackashi. Each student had the opportunity to create a piece of our school-wide mural using a cube design inspired by California Street Artist, Ryan Wilson, better known from his nickname, Thank You X. Their assignment was to express their story through images, color, or words within their cube and must include the FCA logo and a shrimp.

Spiritual Emphasis: The Gift of GO
Matthew 28:19
|
|
For the second time, our Upper School students participated in Spiritual Emphasis Week. During this week, our students participate in Chapel each day, which includes worship and the Word. The theme this year was “The Gift of Go” (Matthew 28:19). Students and staff alike were blessed to hear about ways to share the Gospel from Eric Snow, Youth Pastor at Living Waters; Tommy Peters, Family Pastor at The Journey Church; Dan Walsh, Youth Pastor at Mercy Hill; and Nick Carter, Missions and Worship Pastor at Mercy Hill. At the end of the week, students were able to “GO” do various service projects throughout the community- Journey Food Pantry, Barnabas Center, Council on Aging, Purple Dove, ARC and beach cleanup- and the school. Thank God for a generation that is willing to serve others, share the Gospel, and use words if necessary!

SPRING 2020 SOCCER
OFF TO A GREAT START!
by Glenn Parrish, Athletic Director
Faith Christian Academy’s Boys and Girls Varsity Soccer Teams are off to an outstanding start. Both teams are 2-0 with Southeastern Christian Conference wins over Northside Christian School in Starke, and Faith Baptist Christian Academy in Ludowici, Georgia.
The FCA Varsity Girls team scored early and often against Northside, winning by a score of 11-1 for an impressive team victory. It was truly a team effort with goals by five different scorers and great defense. They continued to play great defense against Faith Baptist, winning by a score of 7-0.
The FCA Varsity Boys team scored nine goals in the first half against Northside. Coach Bill Harvey used this opportunity to develop our younger players in the 2nd half and won by a total of 10-0.
Against Faith Baptist, the Angels continued to play excellent team soccer and won again by a score of 10-0.
Three of our four games have ended early due to the mercy rule in the Southeastern Christian Conference.
Both teams are lead by underclassmen as we have no Seniors this year. Looking forward to a great season next year!
