    THOUGHTS FROM BRAD

    I want to thank those who came to our OutreachMeeting this past Wednesday. It was great to seesome of your enthusiasm for wanting to make adifference in our community. I want to also thankeach of our team members who have begun their

    first steps to organizing various events for the

    church. Great job!

    As fall has begun, I am excited about our smallgroup studies, Radical and Have a New Kid byFriday. There is still time to join us. Radicalmeets at our home each Sunday night at 6 p.m.and New Kidmeets on the last Wednesday nightof the month. See Brad for further details and foryour book resources needed for the groups.

    I cant believe that the Fairfield County Fair ishere. Dont forget that there will be nomorning/evening activities on Wednesday night.I cant wait to taste the fair fries, elephant ears,and fried veggies. For all those who may enterbaked goods, animals, artwork, etc in the faircontests, I wish you the best of luck.

    On Wednesday night, Oct. 16th, we havescheduled a Christian Comedian to perform at

    6:30 p.m. Please begin now asking friends andfamily to come to this night of laughter. Youll beglad you did. We are using this as an Outreachevent. Studies show that almost 85% of peoplewho do not attend a church would do so if theirfriend would just ask them. Will you asksomeone?

    I want to encourage everyone to donateindividually-wrapped candy to Hannah for Trick

    or Treat night. This year she has asked variousfamilies around our community to set up a candystation in their yards, along with informationabout our church. We are trying to hit severalneighborhoods around the community ratherthan just those immediately around our building.Please see Hannah if you can help.

    I hope you have a great week. Live for Jesus!

    Brad

    Last week in Children's Church, we learned abo

    the city of Jericho. Can you believe that t

    walls of an entire city fell down from a fescreams and trumpets? We learned that

    things are possible through God. God can

    amazing things through us when we trust in H

    and have the courage to do what is right, eve

    when we are afraid.

    "When I am afraid, I will trust in you." Psa

    based preaching and teaching & understand the Bible is ourauthority (2 Timothy 3:16).

    Church Health and Biblical BalanceChurch health becomes reality when God's people seek harmon

    live consistently. We expect every member to protect the unityof Christ's Church. (Romans 12:16; 1 Peter 3:8)

    Global EvangelismWe are constant to our founding call to worldwide evangelism

    proclaiming to all that Jesus Christ is the Savior, Healer, and So

    Coming King (Acts 20:27).

    serve in some capacity. (1 Corinthians 12:12-27) We also want Hchurch to be the living evidence of His love and power to the wo

    OUR PURPOSE

    WE EXIST TO Exalt Gods Greatness; Evangelize Gods Work Equip Gods People Express Gods 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 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 li fe decision for Chri st, we ask that you

    come forward during our commitment songat the

    conclusion of the Sunday message. Bapti zed beli evers

    are welcome to become membersat 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 classesto help you

    better understand what you are committing to as amember.
