THOUGHTS FROM BRAD

Today countless teens celebrate the end of their high
school years. Soon they will scream and holler as they
throw their hats in the air in ultimate jubilation. All the
classes they were forced to take, all the tests they
endured, will now no longer have a hold on them.
Now each graduate can get up when they want, wear
what they prefer, and look at life as one gigantic party
that never ends; or can they? While they have no
principal to fear and no teacher to pass out endless
assignments, life still will be full of great responsibility.
You will still have demands made upon your life. You
will replace your fear of a principal with the fear of a
new boss. You see, there will always be people to
which you must answer.
So yes, life now brings a new set of freedom,
challenges, and choices. It is my prayer that no
matter what path you take, no matter what career
you choose, that God will be at the center to be your
peace during the chaos and challenges you will face.
Remember to always be a student of the Word. Never
think you have graduated from being the Lords pupil.
You still have much to learn. Life still can be full of
great joy and jubilation, but allow Jesus to lead you in
your path.
As the scripture says, Trust in the Lord with all your
heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all
your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your
paths straight.
Richard Stearns writes: If we are not personally
engaged in Gods great mission in the world, then we
have missed the very thing we were created to do.
I firmly believe that. Know His path! Now tell me, who
wants to stand before God someday, knowing full well
they did not accomplish what he created us for in the
first place? Not me! He created you for a reason. Now
go and fulfill it. Doesnt that apply to all and not just
our graduates?
In His Service,
Brad

Ladies Pinterest Night

Do you go to yard sales? Do you have extra
standard-sized pillowcases that you don't
ever use? We are collecting new or nearly
new pillow cases to make some dresses for
our Pinterest Night which is Friday, July
25th. We are also asking for donations of
thread and extra-wide, double-fold bias
tape, as we will be sewing these dresses for
some little girls in another country. You can
leave your donations by the ladies ministry
room, downstairs in the fellowship hall.
More information about our Pinterest Night
will be given soon.

Check out the display of a sample of a
pillowcase dress in the church library.

Core Values...

Values central to the life, mission and
vision of Fifth Avenue Church of Christ are:

Christ-Centered Worship
We make it a priority every Sunday to celebrate Jesus through our
music. (Romans 11:36-12:1-2). We focus on Jesus through grace-
based preaching and teaching & understand the Bible is our
authority (2 Timothy 3:16).

Church Health and Biblical Balance
Church health becomes reality when God's people seek harmony &
live consistently. We expect every member to protect the unity
of Christ's Church. (Romans 12:16; 1 Peter 3:8)

Global Evangelism
We are constant to our founding call to worldwide evangelism,
proclaiming to all that Jesus Christ is the Savior, Healer, and Soon-
Coming King (Acts 20:27).

Fellowship and Ministry
After people begin their journey with Jesus, we will equip them to
find a ministry based upon their strengths. We want everyone to
serve in some capacity. (1 Corinthians 12:12-27) We also want His
church to be the living evidence of His love and power to the world.

Discipleship
We do not want you to "get religion" here at Fifth Avenue Church of
Christ in Lancaster. We are all about teaching you that Jesus seeks
a daily relationship with Him through a life of obedience. In other
words, we want to see the things you are taught actually change
your lifestyle & your daily decisions.

Social Conscience
We place high value on the sanctity of human life, of Biblical
marriage and morality, and we welcome ethnic diversity (Isaiah
56:7; 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 life decision for Christ, we ask that you
come forward during our commitment song at the
conclusion of the Sunday message. Baptized believers
are welcome to become members at 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 classes to help you
better understand what you are committing to as a
member. If you would like to take a Curious class,
please indicate this on your Silent Roll Call Card.
