Our family at First Priority would like to wish you and yours a joyful, blessed and safe Christmas season. Our prayer this holiday and throughout the new year is that God will bless, protect, comfort and guide you. Thank you for your support and partnership during 2019! We’re celebrating over 300 decisions for Christ that have been reported this school year thus far! We can’t wait to share more awesome testimonies with you of how lives are being changed in our schools. We’re looking forward to an incredible new year. Thank you for helping us give the gift of hope this holiday season!
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. ~ Luke 2:11

Students spread Christ’s love this Christmas

by

Throughout the year, and particularly at Christmas, many First Priority clubs participate in various mission and service projects to serve their school, community and the world for Christ. We would like to share several of those awesome stories with you!
– Spain Park High School students raised money to purchase 16 water filters for families in the Dominican Republic. Each filter will provide a family clean water for up to eight years. Until They Know is the ministry that will deliver the water filters and as a result these families will have the Gospel shared with them at the time of delivery and each time someone checks on the filters. Once the families receive a filter, Until They Know will continue to follow-up with them throughout the eight years. These students are passionate about reaching others with the Gospel at home and abroad.
– North Jefferson Middle School First Priority students collected gifts for Lovelady Center children.
– Pelham High School First Priority students gave out hot chocolate and candy canes to students to kick off exam season.
– Thompson High School First Priority students passed out candy canes and Bible verses to students.
– Oak Mountain High School’s First Priority club served hot chocolate to students to say “Merry Christmas” and share Christ’s love this holiday season!
– Calera Middle School First Priority student leaders blessed the school with goody bags containing candy, life books, and an invitation to First Priority. Just about every student and teacher at Calera Middle went home with a goody bag! “We pray that all who received them will read the life books and maybe even come to First Priority to hear more about the Gospel,” said Campus Coach Savannah Grace.
– Forest Oaks Elementary School’s FPKids club partnered with Liberty Baptist Kids Ministry in Chelsea to provide 244 candy goody bags to the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office. Kids brought in candy for Military and First Responders for a mission project.
We’re super proud of these students and their passion to serve others and reach them with Christ’s love. Students are inviting their friends to First Priority. Students are sharing their testimonies. The Gospel is being shared on campuses every week and students are responding with questions and professions of faith. God is using First Priority to change lives. Please pray for these students as they strive to reach Every Last One.

FPKids share Christ's love this Christmas

FPKids share Christ’s love this Christmas 
As we approach the Christmas season, it’s a wonderful time to share about and celebrate the birth of our Hope and Savior Jesus Christ. Luke 2:1-20 will be read and told on hundreds of local school campuses this time of year. Also during this holiday season, many local First Priority and FPKids clubs do special things to celebrate the birth of Jesus and spread Christmas joy.
To show the love of Christ, Warrior Elementary FPKids club decided to do Operation Christmas Child and pack shoeboxes full of toys and necessities that will travel all around the world and be given to children in rural villages and towns. Allyson McCombs, campus coach and teacher sponsor at Warrior Elementary, helped students prepare and wrap boxes to be sent to distribution centers that send the boxes worldwide.

I think we can take a cue from elementary students just like this who see Christmas as more than a time to receive gifts but to give gifts and share the hope of Christ, not just in our local community but all around the world.

First Priority and FPKids students have also collected candy to fill Christmas stockings for children in need, sang Christmas carols, held canned-food drives to help local ministries, made cards for teachers to encourage them and served hot chocolate to students. It is a blessing to see students give up their time to show others the love of Christ this Christmas.
