Last week in Childrens Church we learned about

Joshua and Caleb. They did what was right even

though ten other spies did not! We learned that we

need to stand up and do what is right, even when

others dont. We know that God will give us the

courage to do this when we trust in Him.

When I am afraid, I will trust in you. Psalm 56:3

-October 3rd will be our first day of the Pre-

School Program. It will take place in the wiggle

zone from 10:00-11:00am. Coffee for the moms

and activities, stories and more for the tots! See

you then!

Core Values...

Values central to the life, mission andvision of Fifth Avenue Church of Christ are:

Christ-Centered WorshipWe make it a priority every Sunday to celebrate Jesus through ourmusic. (Romans 11:36-12:1-2). We focus on Jesus through grace-

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

Church Health and Biblical Balance

Church health becomes reality when God's people seek harmony &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 Soon-Coming King (Acts 20:27).

Fellowship and MinistryAfter people begin their journey with Jesus, we will equip them tofind a ministry based upon their strengths. We want everyone to

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

DiscipleshipWe do not want you to "get religion" here at Fifth Avenue Church ofChrist in Lancaster. We are all about teaching you that Jesus seeks

a daily relationship with Him through a life of obedience. In otherwords, we want to see the things you are taught actually change

Jesus Is . For me! By Christine Tangvald is

and early reader and a Mommy and Me book

that introduces children to Gods only Son,

Jesus, in a warm, personal way told just for

them. Jesus Is For Me! features rebus

reading to encourage beginning readers in

their skills by using colorful pictures to teach

new words and lasting lessons about Jesus

life, miracles, resurrection, and His love for

even the youngest child. Bible verses,

highlighted themes, and lively, full-colorillustrations enhance the books take-away

value.

A number of baby board books have been

donated to the childrens library. Some of

them have been displayed on the table. Comeand check them out!

A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 by W. Phillip Kellerhelps adult readers to travel the shepherds path to thegreen pastures and cool, refreshing waters of Psalm23. As a shepherd, Phillip Keller shares his insights

into the life and character of sheep and of the GoodShepherd who loves and cares for them. This belovedclassic will give new meaning to the ageless ShepherdPsalm, enriching your trust in and love for the Lord whowatches closely over you.

Our librarian, Delores Payne, writes W. PhillipKeller, the author, was a shepherd in the Middle East,Africa, and the United States. His look at Psalm 23 isso different than any thoughts I had. I enjoyed readingthis book and got new insights on how to read and seeDavids and Gods viewpoint on this scripture.

Stop by our library and check out a good book. If youhave any questions, contact Delores Payne.
