The FCA Leadership Team held a Huddle at MUMS on Friday, Nov 18. The students provided breakfast for the students and invited Corey Yates to be the guest speaker. The message was about how important words are and how your words matter. He ended the devotional by reminding students that they all have worth and are very loved. It was a wonderful way to begin the Thanksgiving break. If anyone would like to help out the FCA Team with snacks, donations would be appreciated.
