Thank you
Thanks to everyone who attended my 90th birthday party. It was a very enjoyable day and friends were there whom I have not seen in many years. A special thanks also for the many cards and gifts. ~ Dorothy Herman Many thanks to Brad Seevers, Lowell Trimmer, Joe Hoagland, Scott Brown, Tom Puckett, Fred Griffith, Earl Chambers, and Joe Haley for moving me on up. What a great job you all did! You are so much appreciated. I am blessed to be a member of the 5th Avenue Church of Christ family. May God Bless each of you! Visitors welcome! ~ Juanita Harmon
Something new for 2012 Beginning January 1st, we will no longer produce a bulletin and a newsletter separately. Rather than being redundant, this will allow us to be better stewards of the financial resources that God entrusts to us at Fifth Avenue. We will combine the two and distribute them on Sunday mornings for all to enjoy. This means there will be no newsletter distributed on Mondays. This newsletter/bulletin will be made available on Friday on our webpage and Sunday mornings as our hard copy.
Apologetics Class
Glen Shady will be teaching a series on apologetics starting January 1, 2012. This is an adult class that will meet in room 214. 1 Peter 3:15 says, "Always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you." (ESV, italics added) The Greek word for defense here is apologia and that is the general scope of this class. We will look at scripture, philosophy, and science to see how we can defend our faith to others in a way that can constructively bring them closer to God.

Core Values...
Values central to the life, mission and vision of Fifth Avenue Church of Christ are:
Christ-Centered Worship

Global Evangelism
Margie Ayers and Hannah Ross Samantha Hendricks and Jean Azbell Carolyn May
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).

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.
OFFERING ENVELOPES AND CALENDARS FOR 2012 Offering envelopes and calendars for 2012 are available in the parlor. If you do not currently receive offering envelopes and would like to, please contact Marg Shumaker or the church office.
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).

Children of God...
"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." -Proverbs 22:6 ABC Memory Verses
This week the children's and youth ministries will be making a strong focus on memory work. The main foundation of this effort will be our ABC verses. Whether you are a parent, worker, or just interested congregant, it would be a great support to the kids and teens for you to take on the challenge of memorizing these verses.
