FCA "HOME TEAM" BANQUET

"Home Team" Celebration 2012

Our “Home Team” Celebration will benefit the Whitfield/Murray Co. FCA Ministry, directed by Dave Grusnick. Through your generous giving, last year we were able to: send 155 athletes and coaches to camps; receive 2400 commitments to stay Drug and Alcohol free, distribute over 750 Bibles and 121 new believers received Christ through our local FCA. Thank you to all our "Home Team" who made this possible through your generous gifts of encouragement! Our local FCA staff currently has over 1600 students meeting weekly or bi-weekly through FCA in 15 schools in Murray and Whitfield counties!

Over the past twelve years, our banquet celebration has provided over 50% of the resources needed for FCA to minister to all our schools in Whitfield and Murray Counties. FCA is clearly an efficient platform to reach our young people with the challenge and adventure of receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

Last year we had over 800 people in attendance and this year our goal is to "Let's bat a 1000"!  We are striving to have 1000 in attendance.  Dress will once again be casual, similar to what you would wear to the ball park, just like last year.

We have wonderful blessings to share and would be deeply grateful for your attendance this year at our 13th annual FCA banquet being held on Monday, February 6th, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. at the Northwest Georgia Trade and Convention Center.  There are multiple levels that you can be a part of this wonderful ministry and event:
