THOUGHTS FROM BRAD

I want to take this time to say how thankful I am

to work with the Staff here at FACC. Our team

works hard to provide quality ministry to this

congregation, so to Debbi, Dave, Hannah, and Dale

please realize how much you are appreciated. I

especially want to congratulate Hannah for thecompletion of her first year with us. She works

hard to provide quality instruction and fun events

for your kids. For all our parents at Fifth, I want to

encourage you to start getting your children and

their friends involved here because she wants to

partner with you in helping train them up in the

Lord. She is not with us today as she is at a

Childrens ministry convention in Columbus.

I want to thank those who have asked about my

brother Mark. Please continue to pray for him. He

had his first oncology visit this past Monday. He

goes Tuesday to James hospital to get a second

opinion. On Wednesday they will insert a pic line to

prepare for his upcoming chemo treatments.

I am excited about Tony Wolf, Christian

comedian, who will perform here on October16th. If you havent already invited a friend, please

begin now to make a few calls so others can enjoy

a night of laughter with you. Everything starts at

6:30 in the fellowship hall.

Go ahead and mark your calendars for December

15thas 64 to Graysonwill be here for a special

performance of their Christmas show. We will have

a combined service that morning.

Today Kim and I are out of town but look forward

to being here next week for worship. On October

20th, I will speak on the theme of Living to please

God, based on 1 Thessalonians 4.

Have a great week and may God bless.

Brad

Last week in Children's Church we learne

about David and Goliath. David was sma

and weak, but God used him to kill a gianEven though sometimes we feel inadequat

God still wants to use us to do amazin

things we could never do on our ow

Sometimes children feel too small or to

young to do great things, but we learne

that God uses all ages!

I challenge our families to give the kids

chance this week to do great things. Asyour child to pray before the meals, lead

family devotion or share a Bible verse.

Core Values...

Values central to the life, mission andvision of Fifth Avenue Church of Christ ar

Christ-Centered WorshipWe make it a priority every Sunday to celebrate Jesus through omusic. (Romans 11:36-12:1-2). We focus on Jesus through grac

based preaching and teaching & understand the Bible is ourauthority (2 Timothy 3:16).

Church Health and Biblical BalanceChurch health becomes reality when God's people seek harmon

live consistently. We expect every member to protect the unityof Christ's Church. (Romans 12:16; 1 Peter 3:8)

Global EvangelismWe are constant to our founding call to worldwide evangelism

proclaiming to all that Jesus Christ is the Savior, Healer, and So

Coming King (Acts 20:27).

Fellowship and MinistryAfter people begin their journey with Jesus, we will equip them find a ministry based upon their strengths. We want everyone

serve in some capacity. (1 Corinthians 12:12-27) We also want Hchurch to be the living evidence of His love and power to the wo

DiscipleshipWe do not want you to "get religion" here at Fifth Avenue ChurchChrist in Lancaster. We are all about teaching you that Jesus se

a daily relationship with Him through a life of obedience. In othwords, we want to see the things you are taught actually chang

your lifestyle & your daily decisions.

Social ConscienceWe place high value on the sanctity of human life, of Biblical

marriage and morality, and we welcome ethnic diversity (Isaia56:7; Philippians 2:15-16).

OUR PURPOSE

WE EXIST TO Exalt Gods Greatness; Evangelize Gods Work Equip Gods People Express Gods Love through Jesus Christ

OUR MISSION

To Love God and Love

People!

How Can I Respond Today?

At FACC we look to the Bible for guidance on all

issues. We believe that Gods Word is clear

concerning what a person must do to become a

Christian.

Trust that Jesus can bring you to salvation. Turn (repent) from the sin in your life. Confess your desire to make Jesus the Lord

of your life. Be baptized (immersed) in water for the

forgiveness of sins and to receive the Holy

Spirit into your life.

To make this li fe decision for Chri st, we ask that you

come forward during our commitment songat the

conclusion of the Sunday message. Bapti zed believers

are welcome to become membersat FACC by coming

forward on Sunday morning or by seeing our Senior

Minister to discuss this further. We ask that you

complete a series of Curious classesto help you

better understand what you are committing to as amember.
