Dear Friends,
The Fellowship of Christian
Athletes is one of our para church ministries that is closest to my
heart. It was back in the Spring of 1962 that a college football teammate
encouraged me to attend a weeklong summer F.C.A. Conference in Lake
Geneva, Wisc. It was during that weekend that I accepted Jesus as my
Lord and Savior. Since that time, I have lost track of the exact number
of summer conferences I have attended (probably eight or nine). My F.C.A.
experience has resulted in my chairing the South Florida F.C.A. Board, as well
as serving on the New York / New Jersey Board under the direction of our
own Harry Flaherty, who with his family is a part of our New Monmouth
fellowship. I am indebted to the F.C.A, for it has played a
significant part in my spiritual inheritance, and because of this I am always
eager to promote the ministry in any way possible. Which leads me to draw
your attention to the first announcement below.
F.C.A. 5K RUN/WALK ON SUNDAY
The 7th Annual F.C.A. 5K Run/Walk
will be held this Sunday, October 28, at Thompson Park in Lincroft.
The entry fee is $25.00 and check in for the race begins at 1:30 PM, with the
race to follow at 2:30 PM. Awards will be given at 3:15 PM. Those
interested in participating can register online at https://fca.regfox.com/2018fcanjrunwalk
Even if you choose not to run or walk like me, you can
participate by just showing up and cheering on those involved. During the
awards ceremonies you will hear some wonderful testimonies from both high
school and college participants, as well as brief messages by some of those
adults whose lives have been impacted by the ministry.
MEN'S
BREAKFAST, NOVEMBER 3RD WITH NEW YORK GIANTS' LEE ROUSAN
Also,
all men are invited to join us on Saturday, November 3rd at 8:00 AM in
the Church basement for our monthly Men's Fellowship Breakfast. Lee Rousan, a
former New York Giant running back who played 7 seasons with both the Giants and
the Browns, will be our guest speaker. Lee is a member of the New
Jersey F.C.A. staff as well. You won't want to miss his inspiring message,
so please join us and be sure and bring a friend. Teenagers are welcome
to join us. A free will offering will be taken to cover the cost of
breakfast.
MEN'S
CONFERENCE THIS WEEKEND WITH KEN GRAVES
Let me
encourage all men to consider attending Calvary Chapel Old Bridge Men's
Conference featuring Pastor Ken Graves. Having previously
served for five years at Calvary Chapel Old Bridge and having heard Ken
speak on a number of occasions, I can attest to his ability to powerfully
deliver the Word of God. The Conference will be held at Calvary Chapel,
Old Bridge, 123 White Oak Lane on Friday, October 26th from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM
& Saturday, October 27th at 8:00 AM and wrapping up at 1:00 PM. Ken, who is
the founding pastor of Calvary Chapel Bangor, Maine has been a frequent speaker
all over the country. Pastor Ken is known as a dynamic speaker who combines his
rugged masculine style with a vast knowledge of Scripture. Cost at the
door will be $ 25.00.
I hope
many of you will take advantage of any of the above ministry events.
