THOUGHTS FROM BRAD
Sometimes I think, What will people say of me when I'm only just a memory? When I'm home where my soul belongs, was I love? When no one else would show up, was I Jesus to the least of those? Was my worship more than just a song?
I want to live like that and give it all I have, So that everything I say and do points to You.
If love is who I am then this is where I'll stand; Recklessly abandoned, never holding back.
I want to live like that.
Am I proof that You are who you say You are? That grace can really change a heart. Do I live like Your love is true?
People pass, and even if they don't know my name, Is there evidence that I've been changed? When they see me, do they see You?
I want to show the world the love You gave for me. I'm longing for the world to know the glory of the King.
I want to live like that.
The above words from the Christian music group, Sidewalk Prophets, challenges the very core of our spiritual being. It calls into question whether the world sees evidence that we have truly changed. Is there evidence that we look beyond our self-interests and seize opportunities to bring glory to God by serving our fellow man.
May we love others more than self. May we be the hands and feet of Jesus, fulfilling our calling. Let us follow the example of our Lord who came to serve, not to be served. I want to live like that! Do you?
In His Service,
Brad BITS FROM BRO. DAVE
PERSONAL NOTE: Last Sunday morning I used the platform to remind all of you of some special needs we have here at Fifth Avenue. Our annual nominating committee is now in place and we will be seeking candidates for leadership. I am asking that you pray about your potential for service. The other matter is our Sunday morning nursery. We really need volunteers to care for the little folk during worship. If you can volunteer, see Kathryn Albertson or one of our Elders.
KEENAGERS TRIP IN JULY: On Wednesday, of this week (July 30), we will be traveling to visit historic Zoar Village. This village was settled in 1817 by German Separatists who came to this country seeking religious freedom. The village consists of a number of original residences and public buildings. We will be learning about the Zoarites unique religion and history. Cart transportation, for a limited number, is available for those who might have difficulty walking. The cost, per person, is $13. This includes admission and travel. Lunch will be on your own, at the Manor Restaurant in Strasburg. Following lunch, we will make a stop at Yaggis Cheese House which is located near New Philadelphia. A sign-up sheet is posted and we still have 5 seats available. Get your name on and your money in!
MIDWEEK BIBLE STUDIES: Our two study groups will resume on September 10. Watch for details.
COMING KEENAGER EVENTS: -August 27: A trip to Amish Country. We will be visiting the new David Warther Carvings display, near Sugarcreek (not to be confused with the Warther Museum in Dover) and stopping by our favorite cheese shops. (Watch for details!) -September 9: The New Horizons Retreat, which is held annually at the North Terrace Church of Christ in Zanesville. A sign-up sheet, along with registration forms, is posted. Complete a registration form and give it to me, along with your registration fee. Registration is just $20, if you register by August 12. (Registration fee includes a continental breakfast and lunch.)
FINAL THOUGHT: Opportunity knocks but once, but temptation leans on the doorbell.

We extend our sympathy to the family of Paul Gilpin who died this week. Paul was the owner of Pauls Model Shop, located just up the alley from our church. Over the years, Paul was a very kind friend to our church, allowing our use of his parking area and extending engraving services to us on a number of special occasions.

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.

Junior Battles to Be His Best is an I Can Read! book for young readers. This Veggie Tales book contains a lesson about self- confidence.

Mine Is the Night is a novel for adults by Liz Curtis Higgs. Stepping from a battered coach on a rainy April eve, newly widowed Elisabeth Kerr must begin again, without husband or title, property or fortune. She is unafraid of work and gifted with a needle, but how will she stitch together the tattered remnants of her life? And who will mend her heart, torn asunder by betrayal and deception? A worthy hero steps forward, rekindling a spark of hope. Will he risk his reputation to defriend a woman labeled a traiter to the Crown? Or will a wealthy beauty, untainted by scandal, capture his affections? This heartrending journey comes to a glorious finish, in Mine Is the Night, a sparkling gem of redemption and restoration set in eighteenth- century Scotland.
