Shelbyville Middle School FCA will be participating in the SCC Prayer Immersion Experience.

Prayer walking is taking our prayers to the very places where we desire to see God's presence manifested and our prayers answered - in our community! It is our goal to cover every street and neighborhood in Shelbyville in prayer by the end of the year.

We will meet at The Bridge, 1504 S Harrison Street, at 9:30 am for light refreshments.

There will be a cookout at Warren's house for all who joined in the experience.  Parents are welcome to join in as well. Let me know if you have any questions. 

If you plan on attending, please register so we know how much food to purchase for the cookout.  CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

The Angel Tree Program is a need-based Christmas assistance program.  Not only do they help kids get toys or games on their wish lists, but the main priority is to ensure kids get clothing and shoes to get them through the winter months.  Each Angel Tree Christmas list includes their shirt, pants, and shoe size as well as a gift wish.  The gift wish is typically a toy, but may also be a book or something other than a toy.

Each year the Shelbyville Middle School FCA Club sponsors several of the Angel Tree recipients.  This year we have requested to sponsor eleven students.

We will be shopping on December 11th.  We will meet at the Shelbyville Walmart at 10:00 AM to begin the shopping.  We will plan on leaving Walmart at 11:00 AM (depending on the number of volunteers) and going to the SMS to wrap presents and have lunch (pizza).  

Students should be ready to be picked up around noon.  I will have the students text their parents/guardians when we serve lunch to inform them of an exact time.

We are asking each student that participates to purchase at least one item on one of the recipient lists (approx. $20).   The estimated cost to purchase all items on a recipients list is $60.  If the student would like to purchase more than one item on a list, or all three items, that would be awesome as well; however, we are only requesting that they cover the cost of one item.

Below is a link to sign up for this event.  In the reservation form we are asking the following questions:

1. How many items do you plan on purchasing (keeping in mind each item will cost around $20 each)?
2. Will your parent be joining us and if so how many can they safely transport (including the driver).  For every 4 student volunteers, we will need one vehicle to transport students from Walmart to the Shelbyville Middle School.
3. What are some of your pizza suggestions!

There are a number of ways you can help support this SMS FCA event.

1. Attend and help purchase the items.
2. Parents can help transport students from Walmart to SMS.
3. Donate to help cover the cost.  SMS FCA has agreed to sponsor 11 students, which comes to 66 items at a total cost of over $700.  We are asking the students to purchase at least one item, and SMS FCA will cover any cost over and above that.

If you would like to donate monies to help support this event you can deliver it to the front office.  Checks should be made out to SMS FCA.   If you would like to donate via Venmo tap on the button below.  Our Venmo User name is @SMSFCA

From children to seniors, people pack shoebox gifts each year to bless children in need around the world. Parents often use the project to teach their kids about giving. Year-round volunteers support these efforts across the country.  You can help by putting together a box.  Or you can help by donating to the Shelbyville Middle School FCA

If you are a student at SMS and would like to participate, please RSVP using the links below.

1. Shop as an FCA group
2. Shop as a family
3. Build a Shoebox Online

As an SMS FCA group, we will be shopping for the necessary items to fill our shoebox.  You will need to plan to spend around $25 per box you would like to make.

We will meet at Cagany's on Saturday, November 6th at 11:30 AM for lunch then will do our shopping at Walmart.  After that, we will then go to Warren's house to enjoy some hot chocolate and smores as we put our boxes together.  

Parents should plan to pick you up at around 3:00 PM.

Please RSVP so I can make sure I have the necessary room for transporting everyone to Walmart and then to my house.

If you are able to help with, transportation please indicate that on the RSVP form.  If we are unable to provide transportation to everyone that would like to attend, we will reserve spots based on a first come first serve basis as RSVPs are submitted.

If you cant show with the SMS FCA group, you can also do this as a family, or it can be an addition to the group event.  If your church is doing OCC, feel free to get your boxes and listen to items you can submit and return your box to them.  

If you need boxes, please email me at shelbyvillefca@gmail.com.  You can deliver your boxes to me at any meeting (Huddle/Small Group), at my house, or email me and we can arrange a time to pick them up.  The deadline to get the boxes to Shelbyville Community Church is Sunday, November 21st.

If you do this, please email me the number of boxes you sent so we can keep count of how SMS  FCA is helping.
