Revelations, forgiveness topics of FCA Christian fellowship: That ' s what the Fellowship of Christian Athletes was all about. We ' re a small, closely knit group that shares Christ with each other and apply it into our athletics, said Rick Lyons, FCA president. Each Thursday at its meeting, the group had a speaker (usually Coach Dennis Ceder, the sponsor); Rick; pastors from members churches; or college athletes who are involved in FCA. The fellowship we share is very special and it helps us in everyday problems, said Rick, we talk a lot about the prophecy of Revelations and forgiveness. Fellowship was a major part of F( ' A. On Saturday, April 17, members from Reagan ' s FCA, along with members from other high schools, had a combined breakfast at Hill ' s Cafe. The groups sang songs and listened to several testimonies. At the end of the year the group held a big barbecue supper in the large gym, which was a end-of-the-year get-together for everyone that wanted to attend. The members are usually outstanding Christians who care about their relation- ship with God, said Rick. They like the input that is stressed and the atmosphere of Christian fellowship.

FHA helps others, models entertains Unbelievable, answered Ms. C ' indy Agee, one of the sponsors of Future Homemakers of America when asked what she thought about the group this year. Although our purpose is to help others, I believe they enjoy the fellowship more, replied Ms. Agee with a smile. The group helped many people and loved doing it. On October 9, the officers went to the Joe Thompson Center at UT to an officer workshop where they learned unique leadership qualities, fun projects and motivation for the year. Halloween, the group put their projects in action when they made dozens of cup- cakes and took them to the children at the Travis State School. Twice during the school year the Homemaking classes went (o the Jerry lif- ton Center to visit the children and hilp them make different projects. Not only were the (, hild Development classes involved, but the Sewing classes as well. Twice throughout the year, students modeled clothes they made themselves — the first time in January at the (Cameron Villa Nursing Home. A second time on April 22 FHA students participated in a style show at Northcross Mall. In addition to all the involvement with so many activities, several times the group had the St. John ' s Day Care children come to Reagan to visit and be entertained by stories and games.
