th
, we are privileged to host
the Unleashed for the Unreached Prayer
Wall at Fifth Avenue.

On May 17
th
, you are invited to hear Ray Linn
speak at our 8:45 prayer breakfast. After
breakfast, we invite you to participate in a
prayer walk through our building, where we
are asking the congregation to pray about
very specific needs. Then from 1-5 p.m. on
May 17
th
, the community will be in the
building to see the Wall.
The entire weekend will be filled with activities for our members and the community. We
need you to join us as we seek to reach a goal of 200 in our Sunday morning worship
service. Who will you invite so that their eyes will be opened to the need of reaching the
unreached people groups and tribes for Jesus? There are still some 7,000 tribes that
need to hear the name Jesus for the first time. Keith Dimbath, from Lifeline Mission, will
speak at our morning worship. Then before and after the service, you and your friend
can experience the Prayer Wall together.

Its going to be a great weekend. Please plan to join us! Have questions? Call Brad at
740.550.9882.



THOUGHTS FROM BRAD

This is it! All the planning is complete. The
speakers are prepared and the food has been
planned. The only thing left now is for you to
show up and pray on behalf of those in this
world that need Christ. Will you do it? Will you
attend a prayer breakfast at 8:45 on Saturday,
May 17
th
to receive a challenge by Ray Linn?
Will you invite a friend out on Sunday, May 18
th

for our morning worship to hear Keith Dimbath
preach and to experience the Prayer Wall with
you? The ball is in your court. What will you do?
Many have been praying all along that life
change will take place in your heart and in the
heart of this church because lost people matter.
Its going to be a great weekend and I dont
want you to miss out on any of it. Please join
us. Today is the last day to sign up for the
breakfast.

I want to remind everyone that this Wednesday
night, May 14
th
, I will begin a new adult elective
entitled: Acts of God. It is based on the life of
Joseph and it deals with suffering. I know it
will bless you as you try to find an answer to
one of lifes difficult questions: If God is so
good, why does He allow so much pain in the
world. Whether you are trying to find the
answer to this question for yourself or someone
else, we invite you to join us and to bring a
friend.

I want to thank Mitch Shell for donating water
for the local race yesterday. I also want to
thank the Hinsons for volunteering to distribute
the water at the race. Each bottle had a church
label on it. This is just another way we are
trying to let people know we exist in Lancaster.

This will be my last reminder for all graduates
who want to be recognized on June 1
st
at Fifth
Avenue. Please let us know by May 18
th
in the
office. Thank you for your cooperation.

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, 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.


Book Nook
Monday, May 19
th

6:30 p.m.

The next book for the Book Nook is Danger in the
Shadows by Dee Henderson. Sara is haunted by a
nameless, faceless man who abducted her 25 years ago
and continues to threaten her life. Now she lives in a
high-security world that keeps her safe, but leaves her
lonely. She knows that falling in love with a famous
man like Adam is a bad idea, but Adam wont give up
and she doesnt really want him to. Over the years she
has learned to find faith and security in God. Then
Sara and Adam are caught in a chain of events that
brings Sara face-to-face with her past. Will she be able
to keep her faith in God as she seeks closure?
WELCOME TO FIFTH AVENUE!
At FACC, we focus on loving God,
loving people, and turning the world
upside down.

We are happy you chose to worship with us
today. We hope you return next week and
bring your friends with you. If you would
please take a few minutes to fill out a
Silent Roll Call Card, located on the back
of the pew, you can then place it in the
offering plate as it is passed. Thank you.

church, contact our minister, Brad Seevers

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.
