This week (April 21) we will consider Aquilla and Priscilla, the Tutors in our series on the Friends of Paul. In coming weeks, we will be examining Apollos, Philip and Demas. If you are not involved in a small group, on Sunday evenings, I encourage you to join us. Communion is available for those who desire. Once again, I remind you that we now have activities for children each Sunday evening. WEDNESDAYS: We are continuing our series of lessons on the epistle to the Philippians. Chapter 4 will be our focus this week (April 24). I want to invite you to join either the 10:00 am or 6:30 pm study groups. We cover the same material in each session. On May 1, we will begin a study of Colossians. FINAL THOUGHT: A man who tries to carry a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way.

Last week in Children's Church, we learned about trusting and obeying God. God asked Abraham to sacrifice his one and only son, Isaac. Abraham obeyed God. When he was just about to kill his son, God stopped him. He knew that Abraham trusted God with everything that he had. We learned that this story is very similar to another story in the Bible. Jesus. God also had to sacrifice His one and only son. Do we trust God with everything that we have? Are we willing to give up what we love the most in order to obey God? It's a tough question, and one that we must strive to improve on each day. Hannah

The LORD is king! He is robed in majesty. Indeed, the LORD is robed in majesty and armed with strength. The world stands firm and cannot be shaken. 2 Your throne, O LORD, has stood from time immemorial. You yourself are from the everlasting past. 3 The floods have risen up, O LORD. The floods have roared like thunder; the floods have lifted their pounding waves. 4 But mightier than the violent raging of the seas, mightier than the breakers on the shore the LORD above is mightier than these! 5 Your royal laws cannot be changed. Your reign, O LORD, is holy forever and ever. My first memory of standing at the edge of the ocean was one of amazement. I was astonished to realize you could get in a boat and cruise for days and not see land. Even more astounding was the first time I waded out into the surf, thinking I would go for a swim. When the first wave broke over me and knocked me down it seemed seconds turned to minutes as I was tossed around under the water. The ocean is an overwhelming force, more powerful than words can explain. The psalmist here reminds us that the ocean is nothing compared to the one who created it and contains it. Before there was an ocean God was there. He is still here and deserves our adoration, our awe and wonder. He deserves our worship.

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).
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).
Discipleship
We do not want you to "get religion" here at Fifth Avenue Church of Christ in Lancaster. We are all about teaching you that Jesus seeks a daily relationship with Him through a life of obedience. In other words, we want to see the things you are taught actually change your lifestyle & your daily decisions.
Social Conscience
We place high value on the sanctity of human life, of Biblical marriage and morality, and we welcome ethnic diversity (Isaiah 56:7; Philippians 2:15-16).
