convene at noon, following our morning worship service. The family is providing
meat, beverages and cake. You are asked to bring veggie dishes, etc. Mark the
date and come join in this tribute to our oldest active member and dear friend.

SENI OR SAI NTS I N THE SMOKI ES: A
final reminder that we depart at 5:59 a.m. on
Monday, May 26 and return on May 30.

UPCOMI NG KEENAGER TRI P: Our next
adventure will take place on Wednesday,
June 25. On that day, we will be traveling to
New Concord to visit the National Road Zane
Grey Museum and the John Glenn Home.
From there, we will motor on to Cambridge
for lunch and a visit to 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,
May 28, our two study groups (10:00 am &
6:30 pm) will not be meeting as I will be
attending Senior Saints in the Smokies. We
will resume on June 4 with chapter 3 of II
Timothy.

FI NAL THOUGHT: To handle yourself, use
your head; to handle others, use your heart.

THOUGHTS FROM BRAD

I want to thank all who assisted in the planning of
our Unleashed for the Unreached weekend. Our
team consisted of: Kim Seevers, Ray & Mary Alice
Coats, Trina Barrell, Mitch Shell, Bob & Natalie
Neff, Mark & Samantha Hendricks & family, and
Janet Brown. Your faithfulness in prayer and
service were greatly appreciated. I also want to
thank Jeff & Christine Crook, Nathan Crook, Bob
Neff and Jean Azbell for preparing the prayer
breakfast. The meal was wonderful! I also thank
my wife Kim, who planned our Prayer Walk this
past weekend for our families to enjoy.

If you did not participate in either event over the
weekend, it is truly your loss. Ray Linn & Keith
Dimbath did an excellent job as our guest
speakers. They are wonderful servants of God.

I want to thank our church partners in ministry
who participated in this event and who committed
to praying daily for the lost people groups and
tribes of this world. We had a total of 34 countries
and/or tribes chosen by you. I cant wait to see
how God answers our prayers. Below are a few
suggestions to assist you with your daily
commitment.

1) Pray daily for your tribe (1 Timothy 2:1-4).
2) Pray daily that God sends messengers to
your tribe or people group (Luke 10:12).
3) Pray for doors to open in your country
(Colossians 4:2-4).
4) Pray for boldness (Ephesians 6:18-20) that
God might help you share your faith.
5) Pray that other churches may adopt
Unreached people groups.
6) Pray that God might use you to go to the
mission field (Mt. 28:19-20).
7) Pray that God would help all the countries
of His world, to be open to Jesus and His
followers because THE DAY is coming
(Philippians 2:9-11).

In His Service, Brad Seevers
Next Sunday, June 1, we will recognize our
2014 graduates at our worship service.

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).

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.
OUR PURPOSE

WE EXIST TO

Exalt Gods Greatness;

Equip Gods People

People!
Library Spotlight

Battle for Cannibal Island, book #8 in the Focus on the
Familys The Imagination Station series is a book for
young readers ages 7 and up.

Join cousins Patrick and Beth in the Imagination Station as
they travel to Fiji in the 1850s. Patrick hopes its for a
tropical vacation instead he finds out that cannibals are
alive and well on the islands. In truth, the cannibals are
burning down every Christian village they can find. When
Patrick and a sailor named Nettleton get knocked
overboard, the cousins are separated. Patrick must fend
off escaped convicts and a terrible storm even worse, he
finds the cannibal king without even trying! Meanwhile,
Beth follows missionary James Calvert as he searches for
Patrick. But Calverts greater mission is to find the king of
the cannibals and tell him about the Bible. Is Calvert
leading Beth away from danger or straight toward it?
Unspoken (written about Bathsheba) by Francine Rivers is
in our adult library. The scandalous affair of David and
Bathsheba did not end in one night. Unspoken is the story
of one womans journey from innocence to despair and of
the God who restored her. To many, her name means
seduction and sin. Yet God called Bathsheba His own,
worthy of the legacy of His Son.

Stop by the church library and
check out a good book! If you have
any questions about the library,
contact Delores Payne.
