THOUGHTS FROM BRAD
I want to thank everyone who participated in our
Summer Mission trip to Grundy Mountain Mission
School. Your hard work and service to the Lord was
greatly appreciated by me and the campus staff.
Those who participated with me were: Mark,
Samantha, Tyler, Ryan and Anna Hendricks, Kim
Seevers, Bob Neff, Nancy Speakman, Lori Highfield
and Nancye Rose. I pray that Grundy will always hold
a special place in your heart. I also want to thank
everyone who gave toward this trip in our 2013
special offering. Our service would not have been
possible without your generosity. Well done church!

I recognize that there were probably some who could
not participate this year because of scheduling. Why
not consider going abroad next year on a foreign
mission field? Keep looking in the near future for an
informational meeting concerning our destination.

This week, Kim and I will be in Indianapolis for the
North American Christian Convention as we
experience a time of refreshing and spiritual renewal.
Please pray for us as we travel. Why not worship with
us? You can go online to www.gotonacc.org and
access each main session and hear great speakers
from around the country on July 8-11
th
. The website
informs you when the sessions start.

A great passage that I want to leave with today
reminds of the times in which we now live. It is
Proverbs 1:20-23. It says, Wisdom shouts in the
streets. She cries out in the public square. She calls to
the crowds along the main street, to those gathered in
front of the city gate: How long, you simpletons, will
you insist on being simpleminded? How long will you
mockers relish your mocking? How long will you fools
hate knowledge? Come and listen to my counsel. Ill
share my heart with you and make you wise.

If ever there was a time we need to encourage people
to listen to the Lords counsel, it is now! The challenge
to listen to God includes our listening as well to Him.
What is He asking you to listen to Him about today?
Of what life choice do we need to follow His
guidance? Listen! Be quiet; stay still. Listen to your
God and see what he would have you do.

In His Service,

Brad

BITS FROM BRO. DAVE

KEENAGERS TRIP I N J ULY: On
Wednesday, July 30, we will be traveling to
The Village of Zoar which is located just
north of Strasburg, Ohio. This village was
settled in 1817 by German Separatists who
came to this country seeking religious
freedom. The village thrived for some 80
years and is, today, inhabited by about 75
families living in buildings constructed
from 1817 to the present. We will be
learning about the Zoarites unique religion
and history. The cost, per person, will be
$13. This includes admission and travel.
(Lunch will be on your own.) Our
departure time is 7:30 am.

MI DWEEK BI BLE STUDI ES: These
sessions are being suspended, as is our
custom, during the months of July and
August. Watch this space for
announcements regarding future studies.

NEW HORI ZON RETREAT: This annual
gathering, for seniors, is held each year in
Zanesville. (We have attended for several
years.) This year, the date is Tuesday,
September 9. Watch for more information!

FI NAL THOUGHT: Dont you wonder
why they call them the secrets of success
when there are so many trying to sell them
to us?

Cathy Gohlke couldn't write an inferior novel if she tried.
All her releases so far have been bright with excellence,
compelling stories, and unforgettable characters. Saving
Amelie confirms Cathy's superior writing ability, as well
as her understanding of history and compassion for its
people. Set during World War II in Nazi Germany, the
story will draw you in from the first page and not let you
go until the end. One reviewer wrote of the "heart" and
"faith" woven into the story, as well as the bravery and
obedience to God's Word, even in impossible
circumstances. The "facts" and research of the story are
all too true, and if you've read any of the author's other
novels you know you can expect a great read about a
difficult, even horrifying, subject from this, her most
recent effort. Cathy Gohlke writes from the heart ... a
caring heart ... and from a wealth of research and insight
as well. A major achievement from a major author.

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.
For more information about our great
church, contact our minister, Brad Seevers
at Brad@new-churches.org or call him at
740.550.9882. Have a great week and may
God bless your life.

celebrating their 60
th

Saturday, July 12
th

First Church of Christ, 118 N. Main

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.
