Library Spotlight
“Psalms for Young Children” by Marie-Helene Delval is a “Mommy andMe” book. The biblical Psalms describe the whole range of emotions,from joy and wonder to sadness and regret. This collection of Psalms,paraphrased for young readers, uses simple yet powerful imagery to helpchildren express their feelings.
The Cul-de-Sac Kids book, “The Upside-Down Day” by Beverly Lewis
is written for elementary readers. “It’s school spirit day at Blossom Hill
School, and everyone’s enjoying the fun. Especially Abby Hunter’steacher, Miss Hershey. She does all sorts of wacky things, like wearingher clothes backward. And there’s a new girl at school with a BIG secret.Leslie Groff – with bright red pigtails – dates Abby’s class to guess her secret. In just one school day! Can the Cul-de-sac Kids do it? Or willspunky Leslie outsmart them all?
There are many books missing from the library. Also, please check at home for any booksbelonging to the library and return them if you have finished reading them.
MANAGING HIS MONEY. It’s been a little more than three months now since we
worked our way through a sermon series entitled: “Take God at His Word.” Many of
you also read the book and I hope you found it to be a life-changing resource. Wejust want to say how good it has been to see those of you who have been trusting Godwith this area of your life. We also want to encourage others of you to begin trustingthe Lord with your finances and begin experiencing the joy that so many of us havecome to know because we give. Below you will find suggestions for how you mightpray for this discipline in your life. We hope it is a help to you!
1. Pray to be better managers of the money we keep (Luke 16:10).2. Pray that we will instill within our children God’s principles for giving and
money management (Deut. 6:5-9).
3. Pray that we will not operate out of fear in our giving, but out of trust(Pr. 3:9-10).
4. Pray for a sense of expectancy at what God will do (Eph. 3:20-21).5. Pray that we will experience joyful giving (2 Cor. 9:7).6. Pray that we will see God as our source of income (2 Cor. 9:8).7. Pray that husbands and wives will encourage each other in their giving
(Heb. 13:6).8. Pray that we will hope in God who richly blesses (1 Tim. 6:17).

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 oJesus 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 seekharmony & live consistently. We expect every member
protect the unity of Christ's Church. (Romans 12:16; 1Peter 3:8)
Global Evangelism We are constant to our founding call to worldwide
evangelism, proclaiming to all that Jesus Christ is theSavior, Healer, and Soon-Coming King (Acts 20:27).
Fellowship and Ministry
After people begin their journey with Jesus, we will equthem to find a ministry based upon their strengths. Wwant everyone to serve in some capacity. (1 Corinthian
12:12-27) We also want His church to be the livingevidence of His love and power to the world.
Discipleship
We do not want you to "get religion" here at Fifth Aven
Church of Christ in Lancaster. We are all about teachinyou that Jesus seeks a daily relationship with Him throua life of obedience. In other words, we want to see thethings you are taught actually change your lifestyle &
your daily decisions.
Social Conscience
We place high value on the sanctity of human life, ofBiblical marriage and morality, and we welcome ethni
diversity (Isaiah 56:7; Philippians 2:15-16).
OUR PURPOSE
WE EXIST TO …
Exalt God’s Greatness;
Evangelize God’s Work
Equip God’s People
Express God’s 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 allissues. We believe that God’s Word is clear
concerning what a person must do to become aChristian.
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 HolySpirit into your life.
To make this life decision for Christ, we ask that youcome forward during our commitment song at theconclusion of the Sunday message. Baptized believers
are welcome to become members at FACC by comingforward on Sunday morning or by seeing our SeniorMinister to discuss this further. We ask that youcomplete a series of Curious classes to help you better
understand what you are committing to as a member.
