This year, we have an online site just for those attending Ignite!
This secure site can be found at
http://www.mygrapple.com/Grapples/igniteflc and provides
preteens with the opportunity to post God sightings, prayer
requests, find updated calendar events, and read about the Grapple
Challenge which will encourage them to live out their faith!
Weekly Grapple Connection
Each week, the Grapple Connection will be e-mailed to parents so
that they can stay connected to what their children are learning
during Ignite. This will provide you with the opportunity to discuss
with your children what they learn and help them to make connections
to their everyday life. If you would like to receive the Grapple
Connection through e-mail, please be sure to send your name (and
your child’s name) to Stephanie at
stephanie.wolfe@flcfargo.org.

Ignite Highlights
Many 4-6th graders gathered
together on Wednesdays during July to serve as the Hands and Feet of
Christ! We served the Lord through cleaning our local parks,
spending time with children at Nokomis Childcare Center, working at
Riding On Angel’s Wings, and organizing the donations at Churches
United for the Homeless. After a morning of service, we enjoyed an
afternoon of fellowship at places like Thunder Road, Skateland, the
movie theatre and swimming pools!
We all learned what it means to be the Hands and Feet of Christ,
discovered new aspects of faith, and had fun getting to know each
other and serving the Lord! Thank you to all of the youth and
leaders who participated – you all served with smiles, showed the
love of Christ to many, and helped to make a big difference in our
community!
