2. A healthy church is marked by continual devotion to His people. To have fellowship, we must be truly saved. To have fellowship, we must be together. To have fellowship, we must share together in the things of God.
3. A healthy church is marked by continual devotion to His work in the world. Our main focus should be on proclaiming the Gospel, which is the power of God to all who believe. A healthy church must be a reproducing church. If we are not seeing conversions, then we must each look within and ask ourselves who do I know that needs Jesus.
I challenge you to be fervent in your devotion to the Lord and to His church, so that He uses us to reach many in this city and around the globe for His glory. In His Service, Brad

Last week in Childrens Church we learned about Courage. Courage is being brave enough to do what you should do, even when youre afraid. We know that we can be brave, because we know that God is with us! Many things in life take courage! The closer we are to the Lord, the more courage we will have! Thank You Lord for blessing us with courage in our times of fear! When I am afraid, I will trust in you. Psalm 56:3 I hope to see everyone at the church picnic tonight! I will have some activities for the kids to enjoy while we all fellowship together! October 3rd will be our first Pre-School program! All preschool aged kids and parents are invited to join us at 10:00am-11:00am. We will have activities for the kids and coffee for the adults!!! :) Hannah

We have a surplus of extra brown metal chairs at the church. The Facility Management committee recently decided to make our older brown metal chairs available on a first come/first serve basis. If you would like to pick up some of these chairs, they are being stored in our garage across the street. Feel free to stop in during normal office hours (M-W-F) from 7-3 and someone will be glad to assist you.
Thanks to all who donated cards, stickers, and stamps much appreciated! ~ Juanita Harmon

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 gracebased preaching and teaching & understand the Bible is our authority (2 Timothy 3:16).
Global Evangelism
We are constant to our founding call to worldwide evangelism, proclaiming to all that Jesus Christ is the Savior, Healer, and SoonComing King (Acts 20:27).
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).
