Welcome Home
Keith Dimbath!
Keith is the Laborlink Director
at Lifeline Christian Mission.
Keith and Christi served at 5
th

Avenue in the 70s.

Immediately
following our
service today, all
are welcome to view
the Unleashed for
the Unreached
Prayer Wall in the
Fellowship Hall.


THOUGHTS FROM BRAD

I want to say thank you for all those who served on
our planning team for this weekend. Your willingness
to pray, plan and serve will not only impact our church,
but also the Kingdom of God. Special thanks are also
due to our kitchen crew who planned, prepared and
patiently served all those who attended the prayer
breakfast. But let me also thank my wife, Kim, for all
she does to assist me in the ministry here at Fifth
Avenue. She is a great servant of God and wonderful
helpmate.

I am pleased to have Keith Dimbath today as our
guest speaker. Keith joined the Lifeline Christian
Mission team after 30+ years in located ministry. He
serves as the Laborlink Work Team Director for
Lifeline and travels abroad in mission work regularly.
After traveling to Haiti for years as a volunteer, he had
made it his goal to help people discover the joy of
being the hands and feet of Jesus. Please make Keith
& Christi feel welcome today as they visit with us at
Fifth Avenue. They have a special bond with this
church. I will let Keith inform you of that connection.

It is not too late to join us in our new Wednesday
night elective entitled: Acts of God. It meets in the
Fellowship Hall at 6:15 p.m. Join us and bring a friend
who needs help dealing with lifes difficult question: If
God is so loving, then why does He allow me to
suffer?

Something to think about

What would happen if the people of God truly
recognized that we belong to God & exist for Him?
The Bible says, Do you not know that your bodies are
temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you
have received from God? You are not your own; you
were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your
bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Just think how
different this world would be, if we allowed Him to be
Lord over everything, even where we live, and what we
do, and what we say.

In His Service,
Brad, Eph. 3:20-21
BITS FROM BRO. DAVE

SENIOR SAINTS IN THE SMOKIES: Just one
more reminder that we depart at 5:59 on
Monday, May 26.

UPCOMING KEENAGER TRIP: 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!)

MIDWEEK BIBLE STUDIES: This week, May
14, we began an examination of II Timothy.
This is a chapter-by-chapter and verse-by-verse
adventure. I would encourage your participation
in either the 10:00 AM or 6:30 PM group. We
cover the same material in each session.
Choose the group that best fits your schedule.

FINAL THOUGHT: Old age is like everything
else; to make a success of it you have to start
young.

Today is the last
day to let the
church office know
if you will be
graduating from
High School or
College this Spring.

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
