A Note from brAd.
On June 15th, we will begin a new elective on Wednesday nights for adults entitled: HaTime. This encouraging study teaches that no matter what the first half of your life haentailed, you can finish strong during the second half. This five week series wchallenge you to answer questions like: What do I do now that I have grown up? this all there is to life? Why am I so restless? What can I do to find meaning ansignificance? We look forward to seeing you in this group.
James 1:26-27 shares three things that should characterize your life. It shares
1. Control your tongue. It has been said that a true test of a persons spirituality is not the abilto speak ones mind but the ability to hold ones tongue.
2. Care about those who are in need. Jesus teaches us that when we feed the hungry and ahospitable to strangers, or clothe those in need, etcthat we are doing these things for and Him. Thats true spirituality.
3. Keep yourself uncorrupted by the world. We must make sure that we do not conform to thworld and its standards. If your faith is real, there will be changes in your life as a result of it.
In His Service,
Brad, Eph. 3:20-21

Bagging Food for HaitiGod really blessed the effort to raise money to send food to Haiti last month with our
Easter offering in April. This effort is not yet finished, though. We are going to actually bagthe food ourselves and send it off to Haiti through Lifeline Christian Mission. Lifeline willbring all the supplies here, we just need to provide the workers.
The food bagging is going to be taking place on June 23rd in the Fellowship Hall. It willstart at 4:30pm and continue until all 2 pallets of food are bagged, boxed, and ready to go.This is the same week as VBS week, and we are doing this because Lifeline will be our VBSmissionaries and we want to give the kids an opportunity to take part in an amazing act ofservice. So from 6:00-7:30pm the kids and workers from VBS will be joining the effort to helpget this done.
Do not be intimidated by this project. It will be hard work, but if enough people come thatwill allow the work to go faster and give people the opportunities to take breaks.
Congratulations Seniors!
The following seniors will be graduating from high school this spring: Joe Hoagland Jenna Thompson Brittany Cox Patrick HinsonYou are encouraged to give them a pat on the back or a hug for their
accomplishments. These four teens have made us proud as a part of this churchand we know they will continue to do so in the future. To celebrate them we will
be honoring them this Sunday during 2nd service. Other graduates of note are

their lives.
That God would provide the workers so that we can get the food sent to HaitiOff To Europe
Jessica and I will be flying to Europe next Wednesday, 25 th. We will be there until June 10, andwe believe this will be a life-changing time as we visit with many different missionaries who areplanting churches throughout Germany, Belgium, and Austria. God has blessed us to be able tohave this experience. Please pray that he would use this time as a time to not only share with ushis long-term will for our family, but also to allow us to be refreshed and reenergized as wecome back to do his will here at Fifth Avenue.
