Every year at John I Burton, FCS (Fellowship of Christian Students) is offered every Wednesday during both lunches with free pizza, drinks, and sometimes sweets. Gary Maggard runs this program, and travels between about 12 different schools.
Gary Maggard always has a smile on his face, whether he is doing the teaching or a youth pastor from a different church is doing the teaching. Every Wednesay is looked forward to by 60 students as they are promised to be fed physically and spiritually. Gary even hands out different candy towards the end to any students that can correctly answer questions about the service. Every student that attends chooses to do so themselves and all really enjoys being there and seeing their fellow classmates learning a little bit more about Jesus.
"Everyone is welcome! Sponsors are super! Mrs. Fields, Mrs. Wampler, Mrs. Morris, and Mr. Fultz. Students are very respectful and fun to hang out with," says Gary. Not only does Gary enjoy getting the word out about Jesus, but he loves seeing students come back from week to week. Everyone come out and get a few slices of pizza as well as a lesson from The Bible.
