Dexter, Missouri - The First Baptist Church will host the Fellowship of Christian Athletes breakfast. Athletes should be ready to eat at 7:20 a.m. and will have plenty of time to get to school on time.

Tomorrow Greg McGhee will have a devotion to deliver after everyone gets "checked-in" on their social media then it is time to have face-to-face conversations with one another.

"I also hope they see that they have someone to turn to if they ever need to talk about something going on or if they ever have questions about their faith or furthering their relationship with Jesus Christ."
