Giving Out Oasis and FCA Share a Part of Themselves Don’t talk, be quiet! These were the usual commands ex- pressed by teachers, but in Oasis and Fellowship of Christian Ath- letes, members were afforded the opportunity to share their feelings about God and the part He plays in their lives. Although separation of church and state was controversial in terms of prayer in school. Oasis and FCA managed to overcome the obstacle by meeting as clubs during lunch. The members were able to openly discuss their ideas about religion at the meeting with- out forcing their opinions on any- one. Their main purpose was to con- centrate on personal growth with- in each of the clubs members. Da- vid Paul commented, The joy of Oasis was sharing in God’s place in each person’s life. Oasis experienced more com- munity awareness than in past years by inviting guest speakers to the meetings. On the other hand, Fellowship of Christian Athletes provided necessities for needy families at Christmas time, and was visited by the musical group, Undercover . The uniqueness of these clubs came from the fact that students could feel free to talk about their beliefs and personal, spiritual ex- periences. Design by Phi Nguyen and Pam De- Cain.
