THOUGHTS FROM BRAD
On Wednesday, May 14th, at 6:15pm, I plan tobegin a new adult Bible elective entitled, Acts ofGod. I look forward to this study because it willaddress the question that everyone needsanswered at some point in their life. It is the
question: If God is so good, why does He allow somuch pain in the world? This group will meet forsix weeks in the fellowship hall. The curriculumuses a well-produced, cinematic approach as itexamines the Biblical account of Joseph. Im sureyou will enjoy it! One thing is for certain! As welook at Josephs life, we will see that even in theface of personal pain, we can trust in the Lord atall times.
On May 10th, we will have volunteers at a localrace passing out water bottles with a church labelon them. Please pray first, that all the participantsrunning the race can finish without any injury.Secondly, pray for those volunteering, that Godwill give them opportunity to make connectionswith those who need a church home. This is justanother example of how we are intentionally
reaching out to our community for the sake ofChrist. No matter what, may God be praisedbecause of His people are being faithful.
We desire to recognize our upcoming graduates atour June 1st worship service. It has been ourpractice to only recognize those who inform us thatthey will be here that day and who do not mindbeing recognized. So please inform our office no
later than May 18thif you want to be recognized onJune 1st. Please allow us to celebrate with you.Thank you!
Final thought: The Gospel message of Jesuswas not just an offer of forgiveness; it was Hiscall to enlist (Richard Stearns).
In His Service,
Brad Seevers

abducted her 25 years ago and continues to
threaten her life. Now she lives in a high-
security world that keeps her safe, but leaves
her lonely. She knows that falling in love with
a famous man like Adam is a bad idea, but
Adam wont give up and she doesntreally want
him to. Over the years she has learned to find
faith and security in God. Then Sara and
Adam are caught in a chain of events that
brings Sara face-to-face with her past. Will
she be able to keep her faith in God as she
seeks closure?

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 HolySpirit 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. Baptized 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. If you would like to take a Curiousclass,
please indicate this on your Silent Roll Call Card.
