THOUGHTS FROM BRAD

I am really excited that the fall months are fast
approaching. School is back in session, all the
summer trips have come and gone, and the next
thing you know the foliage on the trees will be
just beautiful. With the fall comes a new
opportunity to get involved at Fifth Avenue. New
classes are beginning, church activities will be
increasing, and your opportunity to grow
spiritually will be expanding. All that is left is for
you to take advantage of what we offer at FACC.
We are going to do all that we can to help you
better connect with one another as a church and
we hope as you connect, youll build lasting
relationships with other age groups. We also want
to encourage more of you to take ownership at
FACC by finding an area of service with the
church. Everyone is needed! It is our goal to help
you become better equipped to serve. As we do,
we are going to create an environment here
where you are considered not as members but
ministry partners in the work of Christ. Will you
prayerfully consider this? We need now, more
than ever, for people to be committed to His
cause here on Fifth & Broad streets.
Over the course of the next several weeks, I will
leave you with a specific prayer I want you to
pray for our church. These prayers are not
original with me but are in a good book I am
working through. Here is that first prayer: God,
open my eyes that I might see my church as
You see it. Let me see where change needs
to take place, even if it is painful to me. And
use me, to be an instrument of change
whatever the cost.
I hope you will commit this concern to prayer
each day this week. Just imagine what God can
do through His people who love His church that
much.
Final thought: Middle age is when your age
starts to show around your middle (Bob Hope).
In His Service,
Brad

The Scent of Lilacs
by Ann Gabhart

After the summer of 1964, life for Jocie Brooke will
never be the same.

Life-changing events rarely happen in quiet Hollyhill,
Kentucky, and when they do, they are few and far
between. But for young Jocie Brooke and her family,
they happen all at once during the humid summer of
1964. Though on the surface things are just fine, it
seems like everyone in Jocie's life has something
they're not saying, something they're hiding from her--
and from themselves. As Jocie digs into her family's
past, she stirs up a whirlwind of discoveries. Will she
find the answers everyone so desperately needs? Or
will her questions lead to truths better left hidden?

Combining unforgettable characters, true-to-life
struggles, and the perfect dose of humor and nostalgia,
this riveting story from bestselling author Ann Gabhart
explores the very essence of new life and love.

From your Mission Committee: Each month we will be
featuring a mission we support. We want you to know
about them and be glad about the good they do. This
month we are featuring IDES.

IDES stands for International Disaster Emergency Service.
It is not a ministry unto itself. It is a ministry that partners
with Christian Churches/Churches of Christ in the United
States and their missionaries overseas. All their projects
touch on caring for the poor, the sick, the hungry, and the
homeless. Their other objective is that those they help
hear the Good News about Jesus. In the month of
September they will have distributed $181,374.50. (This
total is down). It will go to parts of the world affected by
some disaster like: India, Kenya, Thailand, Haiti, Pakistan,
Panama, Philippines, and Myanmar. We send them
$150.00 each month.

Im hungry Im scared: We hear these words from our
families from time to time. But true hunger or terror is not
something we know much about. I used to hear the
phrase our poorest people are better off than the poor in
the world. I didnt comprehend what that meant, but one
only has to follow the news to hear and see what real
hunger and terror mean. Thank God we can help them!



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.
