THOUGHTS FROM BRAD

It has been a great joy having Hannah Martin as ourChildrens Director. Hannah served faithfully at FACCfor the past fifteen months as she taught childrenabout Jesus and planned activities for them and theteens. She worked tirelessly to provide your childrenwith Biblical teaching in a creative way. She will bemissed. This past Sunday we announced her

resignation. We wish her the best wherever Godleads her into full-time work. Her last Sunday will beNovember 24th. That is the same day of our annualThanksgiving banquet. We want to give you anopportunity to say thanks to Hannah so that nightwe encourage you to send her away with a love gift.If you want to give her a letter of encouragement ora gift card, we will have a basket prominently placedfor you to do so.

One of the most beautiful promises in all of Scriptureis Revelation 21:4: "And God will wipe away everytear from their eyes; there shall be no more death,nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain,for the former things have passed away."

One day all pain will be gone. All sorrow will begone. All mourning will be gone. That is the promisefrom God. There will be no more physical oremotional painno pain from a broken body or abroken heart, no more broken marriages, and no

more broken lives. Why? Because God will make allthings new.

Here is the promise of God to you: "Therefore, ifanyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old thingshave passed away; behold, all things have becomenew" (2 Corinthians 5:17).

You change when you truly follow Jesus. Oldvalues, ideas, plans, loves, desires, and beliefsvanish, and they are replaced by new things. You

have a new desire to know God and learn moreabout Him and a new desire to be led by the HolySpirit and be used by God. You have a new desire tobring glory to Godand yes, even a new desire toone day see God in heaven.

I hope you have a great day.

In His Service,

Brad

Last week in Childrens Church we

learned about how God sees

everything. We cant play Hide n Seek

with Him and we cant wear masks to

disguise ourselves. God sees what is

behind the mask, but he still loves us

As we remember the 50th anniversary of PresidentKennedy's assassination, our book for November is

Bill O'Reilly's bestsellingKilling Kennedy. It readslike a novel, but it's packed with truth and action.Even if you lived through the event or have heard

the story told dozens of times over the years, you'lllearn something you didn't know about this tragedy

that changed our nation forever.

Be with us at the Book Nook on Monday,November 25, at 6:30 p.m. to discuss the book and

Servant-Minded Volunteer/Volunteers Needed!

There are two areas of service in the churchthat are in need of a leader. One position is

to take responsibility for decorating thechurch at Christmas and Easter. We all enjoythese special times of the year and your help

would bring great joy to all.

Also, in order to continue with the tradition oflive flowers in the sanctuary during Christmasand Easter, we are in need of a volunteer or

volunteers to take responsibility for thisministry. The task includes taking orders,

collecting funds and arranging for delivery tothe church. The sanctuary always looks

lovely with flowers; however, we will not beable to continue if we dont have someone to

take on this task.

If this sounds like something you would liketo do, please contact Julie Stuck at 654-2409or e-mail [email protected] as soon as

possible.

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 theforgiveness 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 song at the

conclusion of the Sunday message. Bapti zed believers

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 classes to help you

better understand what you are committing to as a

member.
