FCA has many goals intended for the student body. It’s about students coming together to share their love for Jesus Christ, but also it gets them involved with the community, and helps them to expand their social activities. It can even help students through the stresses they encounter in their life.

“Today, kids have many stresses and overwhelming stuff put on them,” states Ms. Swisher, a teacher of Holton High school, “FCA is a great place where you can find help and release the stress.”

This year FCA is doing things a bit differently in order to involve more people, by making it easier for students to come to the meetings and get to the events. A lot of the students were too busy last year to make it to meetings, so there wasn’t has many activities held. The sponsors decided to divide the FCA members into four teams, there are approximately 9 members in each group. Each group has two months out of the year to hold different activities and prayer circles.

“This year I really want to make FCA the place to be. I want the students to think of it as ‘Yes, I’m excited for FCA this Saturday!’ and not ‘Oh, well lets just get this over with.’ So the activities that we hold won’t ever be boring and we try to do things we haven’t done in the past.” Pronounces Mr. Will, one of the FCA sponsors.

Some of the activities that are trying to be planned for October and November, are bowling, a hayrack ride if the weather is good, leaf raking for the community, and the passion play is coming up soon this October. The hayrack ride was cancelled last Saturday due to the cold weather and sicknesses going around, but they are trying to schedule another date for it again soon.

FCA is open to all students. If any students would be interested in signing up, because FCA would love to have you come and get involved, sign up sheets are in the office and it’s only a $3 membership to join. The meetings are on Wednesdays at 7:30 in the mornings. Hope to see you there!
