Above are pictures of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) students at Olentangy Liberty High School.  This morning we partnered with them to pass out 1200 (that is 100 dozen) free Krispy Kreme donuts to all the students entering the building.  There was card attached explaining that we just wanted to show them the love of Christ in a practical way.

After the blitz, we took the rest of the donuts down to the administrative offices, the teacher’s lounge and the janitor’s office.

It was an amazing morning and a GREAT event.  Looking forward to doing the same with Olentangy and Olentangy Orange High Schools.

Very proud of our EPIC students who showed up to help.  Thanks Anna J., Hannah F., Morgyn C., and Kennedy B.  Also a big thanks to Josh Dixon for helping us pass them out as well.
