THOUGHTS FROM BRAD

Today I want to highlight our First Impressionsministry. Each week we have individuals serve at

our Visitors table. We are seeking men/womenwho know how to smile, listen and capable of

saying, Were glad youre here! Now thats not tootough is it? You can do it!

These volunteers are asked to serve at this table for10-15 minutes before and after the service theyattend. You may or may not have anyone come to

this booth, but dont be discouraged because youare important, and when that visitor steps up to thetable and sees you there, you will know that Godwill use you to make a difference and impact a life.Our volunteers are ready and able to welcome andgreet first time guests, answer their questions, andgive them a free gift. They're warm and friendly andexcited to learn about what has brought each

person to visit and how they can get connected atFACC.

If you can help us, please contact meimmediately. By the way, we currently needsomeone to oversee this ministry. If thissounds like something you might be interested in, Iwould love to sit down with you.

In His Service,Brad

SCOTTS THOUGHTS

Yesterday we had an opportunity to take our faith andput it into action. Many of you were a part of thateither by volunteering to help or as the recipients ofthat blessing. In either case I want to say thank youfor being a part of our go forth weekend. Anytime wecan give of ourselves in service to God and to otherswe are blessed in that as well.

Hopefully, whether you were able to participate in thisGo Forth event or not you will take this as a startingpoint for your ministry here at Fifth Avenue. You dontneed to wait for a special event to help someone outwith yard work or house cleaning. It is always theright time to use your skills and abilities to bless theLord and reach out to others. Think about what youcan do and find a way to regularly exercise your giftsand glorify God.

Last week in Childrens church we learned abo

Serving Others. We learned that you can never too young or too old to Serve Others. W

brainstormed ideas of things we can do in everyd

life to serve others. Jesus came to earth to ser

others and not be served, so we will strive to do t

same. We also learned that we must have a joyf

heart as we serve, it should be something we enjo

(even if it is helping Mom with the dishes )

Yesterday, we all had a chance to Go Forth a

serve others. I hope we dont stop here, but

continue to serve others every day!

Matthew 20:28 For even the Son of Man came n

to be served but to serve others and to give his li

as a ransom for many."
