Shaun
came and spoke with our FCA on Thursday, April 11th. He told us about
his upbringing and touched on his athletic accomplishments. He stressed
the importance of setting high goals to encourage maximum effort in all we
do. He challenged all to work to meet our goals and to continually re-evaluate.
He was an inspiration to all our kids and many went forward to pray with
him. His fellowship with all after the program was exciting.
He stayed and signed autographs and met with anyone wanting to talk.
There are many new Seattle Seahawk fans at Southside School beginning right
now. Do not, however, expect to hear "Roll Tide" in Rocky Top country
anytime soon!

On Friday,
January 5th, Elliot Carson, former star tightend of the Vanderbilt Commodores,
came and spoke with the Southside FCA. Elliot talked about his
relationship with Jesus Christ and how important that relationship is.
He also talked about his commitment to education and the importance of prioritizing
his time to meet responsibilities. After the meeting, Elliot stayed
as long as kids wanted to ask questions and signed autographs for all.
We really appreciate him taking time out of his schedule to share
with the young men and women at Southside. We would love to
see you catching passes from Steve McNair next year!
