The Girls Still Got It

THOUGHTS FROM BRAD
Happy Fathers day! Those who preordered tickets for
this Thursdays Columbus Clippers game, I need your
money today. Tickets cost $16 per person.

This past Sunday, I taught about our need to please
God, not man. We concluded that when you stand
before God someday, He is not going to take a public
opinion poll to determine your destiny. There is only
going to be one evaluation that matters and that is
from God himself.

Since Sunday, I found this story I thought you might
appreciate concerning pleasing people. Enjoy.

The Patriot Ledger reports Tuesday, the citys
licensing board approved a plan to open a Honey Dew
Donuts at the caf counter inside the new $30 million
YMCA. It will be the only Honey Dew store in Quincy.
Because of the YMCAs focus on physical fitness, the
vendor wont sell doughnuts, said Sara Trubiano,
spokeswoman for the South Shore YMCA.

The new Honey Dew will sell coffee, low-fat muffins,
salads and sandwiches, yogurt, fruit cups and
smoothies, Trubiano said. All menu items must be
approved by the YMCA Leadership.

Application: How ironic it is that a donut shop agreed
to sell no donuts. Sounds ridiculous, doesnt it? But
isnt that exactly what we do when we compromise
our beliefs in order to please the world? A donut shop
should sell donuts, and a believer should seek to
please God!

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If
anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in
them (1 John 2:15).

Im not sure if donuts were around when the
aforementioned Scripture was written down, but I am
sure if there was ever going to be an exception, it
would have to be o.k. to love a good donut, especially
a vanilla cream powdered donut from Donut world on
the corner. Yummy!

Tonight at our evening service, I will preach on the
theme of The Most Dangerous Word.

Have a good week,

Brad
BITS FROM BRO. DAVE

KEENAGER TRI P: On Wednesday, June
25, we will be traveling to New Concord,
Ohio. There, we will be visiting the
National Road Zane Grey Museum and the
John Glenn Home. Following our stops at
these two sites, we will be going on to
Cambridge for lunch. It is our plan, after
lunch, to visit the Hopalong Cassidy
Museum, which is housed in the Scotts
Antique Mall. Our departure time is 8:00
AM. The cost for admission and travel is
$13.00 per person. Lunch will be on your
own. A sign-up sheet is posted. I will
appreciate your payment when you sign
up. (Our new policy is that if you have
paid and find you cannot make a trip, we
will refund any admission fees, but cannot
return gas money. We figure that amount
too close for refunds!)

MI DWEEK BI BLE STUDI ES: This
week, June 18, our two study groups
(10:00 am & 6:30 pm) will be meeting.
We will be completing our study of II
Timothy. In July and August, we will be
taking our customary summer break.
Watch this space for announcements
regarding future studies.

FI NAL THOUGHT: A good scare is
often worth more to a person than good
advice.

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.


A Faithful Father
