SOUTH COBB HIGH SCHOOL
Prayer:
Lets find ongoing opportunities for personal and corporate prayer for Jacqui, the students, the coaches, faculty and staff of SCHS. Volunteer prayer warriors needed.
After Game Events:
We can provide speaker, space, food, music, games and activities for this event sponsored by FCA after sport events.
Personal Involvement - Representatives from OHBC to attend FCA’s weekly meeting Fridays @ 7:15 a.m. and be involved in FCA’s projects and special events. From this involvement should come the opportunities to:
- Provide athletes and coaches with positive, consistent Christian encouragement
- Provide a “raising up the good” communication link between school and church as well as the community
Food: Providing breakfasts are a great incentive to encourage students to attend the early a.m. weekly meetingsFinancial Needs – Providing Camp Scholarships, Door prizes, FCA T-shirts (“front money”- to be repaid when sold to students), discipleship materials and Bibles will take a huge pressure off of Jacqui and free her up to build relationships and ministry opportunities. Otherwise, much of her focus has to be on fundraising.
Special Events – Allow FCA (and other organizations) to use OHBC facilities and resources for Huddle Meetings and other special events.
Rides – there are times when Jacqui will have the opportunity to get a student plugged into a church. The greatest need for some of these students is transportation to church (especially if the parents are not able to attend church).
