Last week in Children’s Church we

learned about Joshua and Caleb. They

were confident in God’s Promise and

remained faithful to Him. Most of the

time, I do not understand Gods plan,and I don’t think I’m alone on this.

However, it is important that we trust

God, no matter what His plan is. We

must remain faithful to Him through

the good and the bad.

I finished the Summer Schedule for

the Children’s Program, copies are in

various places around the church. If

 you see a particular event that you

would be interested in helping outwith, please contact me! (606) 524-

SCOTT’S THOUGHTS 

Matthew 5:14-16

New Living Translation (NLT)

14 “You are the light of the world—like a cityon a hilltop that cannot be hidden. 15 No onelights a lamp and then puts it under abasket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand,where it gives light to everyone in thehouse. 16 In the same way, let your good

deeds shine out for all to see, so thateveryone will praise your heavenly Father.

 As Christians, we have the good news thateveryone needs. We have an opportunity toreach a world around us that desperatelyneeds Jesus. We have the opportunity to livelife with and for Jesus so that others can seethe difference he has made in us. This leadsto a couple of important questions: are weallowing Jesus to change us from the insideout? And Are we letting others see thechange?

Following Jesus is not just about oursalvation, but also about accepting our rolein bringing salvation to others. That means

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 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 seek 

harmony & live consistently. We expect every member to

protect the unity of Christ's Church. (Romans 12:16; 1 Peter

3:8) 

Global Evangelism We 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 Ministry  After people begin their journey with Jesus, we will equip

them to find a ministry based upon their strengths. We

want everyone to serve in some capacity. (1 Corinthians

12:12-27) We also want His church to be the living evidence

of His love and power to the world.

Library Spotlight

“Listen, Live & Laugh Bible Stories” is a “Mommy

and Me” book to introduce even the youngest child

to Bible concepts and characters – creation, Noah,

Jonah, Christmas, Easter, and heaven – and make

the lessons more memorable with simple lifeapplications and a healthy dose of silliness. The

authors, Christine Tangvald and Rondi DeBoer

have written many children’s books, and Robert

Neubecker has been illustrating for over 20

 years.

“Ruth” is an adult fiction book by Lori Copeland,

from her “Brides of the West 1872” series. The

book tells the story of spunky, young Ruth

Priggish who is on the run from an 80-year-old

suitor. Faced with the prospect of marriage to

the persistent old codger, Ruth throws caution to

the wind and heads for Wyoming Territory, where

freedom and independence await. Her only hope is

to seek help from an unwilling protector: Dylan

McCall. U.S. Marshall Dylan McCall is trying

desperately to get to Wyoming before winter sets

in. But when he finds himself saddled with a

stubborn spitfire who won’t take no for an answer,

his job – and his heart – are at stake.

Be sure to stop by our library and check out agood book.

Craft Corner

Wednesday, June 5th ~ 5-9pm

Tracy Hinson will be teaching how to cross-stitch. If 

you would like to learn how to cross-stich, please

purchase a small cross-stich kit (such as a Christmas

ornament kit) and bring it with you.

If you do not want to learn to cross-stich, bring any

craft you are working on and join us for a time of 

fellowship with Christian friends.
