Spring is in the air and our 2011 race season is upon us! We’ve been laying out the team plans for this year and are excited to share what’s in store for this March thru November.

So we’re kindly asking for ~45 minutes of your time the evening of March 24th to kick off the 2011 season.

Given the size and geographic constraints of our huddle, we understand the challenges of getting everyone together in one room. However it is mission critical that we have an opportunity to communicate together as a huddle.

So to accommodate, we’ll conduct our 2011 kickoff meeting both in person as well as via teleconference/web conference. Details are as follows…

Date: Thursday, March 24th
Time: 8:00PM
Location: 16507 Northcross Dr. (Suite #?)
Huntersville, NC
(I-77 exit 25. Here is a map: http://bit.ly/hO45R7 )
Remote: Dial-in and online access will be provided prior to the call

Whether in person or remote, we’re asking each huddle member please make it a priority to attend. Given everyone’s access to a phone and internet connection, most, if not all, should have no problem attending.

If you could please send us an email (leadership -at- enduranceCharlotte.org) and let us know…

1) If you can attend in-person
2) If you can attend remote
3) If you are unable to attend, but will be praying for us

Each of you is a key participant in God’s work in the endurance racing community. We look forward to locking arms with you this season and seeing Him move in and through us for His glory!

Nick & Ryan

We are a group of endurance athletes who have a passion for serving God, and for training and competing in endurance events such as triathlon, running, and cycling. We want to take this desire to race and compete, and turn it upward to achieve something great for the Kingdom!

Our unified vision is to see Charlotte impacted for Jesus Christ through the influence of endurance athletes.

Our mission is to present to endurance athletes, and all whom they influence, the challenge and adventure of receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, serving Him in their relationships and in the fellowship of the church.

Have a look over our website, and JOIN US if you want to be part of the team. Membership is free, and member requirements are very minimal.

If you want to be involved with the FCAE Huddle this season, you must attend one of these meetings.

We want to pray over the ministry, lay out our strategic plan, and get us going in the right direction to be most effective in our mission. The meeting will last 90 minutes at the most, and will hopefully be informative for you, and get you excited to race and be involved with the team.

Meeting Location:
LIFE Fellowship Church Offices (North Charlotte I-77 Exit 25)
15905 Brookway Dr.
Ste 4101
Huntersville, NC 28078

Meeting 1: Thursday Mar 18th 7-8:30PM (CANCELED – Please attend Sunday!)
Meeting 2: Sunday Mar 21st – 6-7:30PM

Please reply to this and let us know which meeting you can attend. If you are unable to make either meeting but still want to be involved this year, please call.

Looking forward to getting together again!

In Him,
Nick and Ryan
