THOUGHTS FROM BRAD …

Hello everyone! I HOPE YOU HAD A GREATWEEK. We have a special need to make youaware of. I want to encourage all our congregantsto try out our new chair models in the parlor. Werealize in this endeavor that some of you will lovethe chairs, while others will not. It will be

extremely difficult to find a chair that satisfieseveryone. But believe me, you will enjoy thesechairs much more than the hard blue metal chair.We need several of you to step up and purchaseat least a chair for yourself as we seek to improvethe seating in our fellowship hall. The entiremembership benefits from your generosity.These chairs will not just be used for our secondworship hour, but for dinners, class parties,anniversary and birthday celebrations,

congregational meetings, etc… We really want toimprove the look of this part of our building andthis is one simple way to do so. Some of you arecapable of purchasing more than just one. Pleaseconsider that possibility. This church has alwaysbeen generous. Let’s prove that once again!

Attention men! Don’t forget these two dates…

March 19-Cabela’s trip to Polaris. We will

leave at 5 p.m. for dinner and a night at agreat hunting and fishing supply store. Joinus. Be sure to sign up in the coat room.

March 21-Men and Boy’s dinner. We willleave the church at 5 p.m. for a great nightof fellowship and spiritual challenge. Pleaseconsider bringing your sons with you. Besure to sign up in the coat room.

The next few weeks until Easter, we

are learning about the last few daysbefore Jesus’ Crucifixion. Last week

in Children’s Church, we learned

about the Last Supper. Jesus knew

what he was about to do, so he

decided to meet with his disciples

and have one last meal. Can you

imagine what that must have felt like

for him?

But before they joined together at

this supper, Jesus did something

very odd! He washed their feet

Washing feet was something that he

servants did, not King Jesus! So we

did both of these things as well last

Sunday.

We want to fully understand what

happened before, during and after

Jesus’ death so we will do our best

to learn during these next few

weeks! Join us!

SCOTT’S THOUGHTS…

Psalm 34:1-3

1 I will praise the LORD at all timesI will constantly speak his praises.

2 I will boast only in the LORD

let all who are helpless take heart.

3 Come, let us tell of the LORD’

greatness; let us exalt his namtogether.

Worship begins with recognizing thgreatness of our God. God is not worth

of our praise because of how He blesseus, but because He is God. We can (anshould) praise God at all times, regardlesof circumstance. David indicates here thaworship is a way of life, a life of ceaselespraise. He also demonstrates how thoutgrowth of that life of praise ievangelism. When we love God and seHis greatness we will share that praiswith others who will recognize Him an

join the chorus.

Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness

let us exalt His name together!

BASEMENT CHAIR-LIFT REMOVAL

The chair lift which was intended for useby people going from the Fifth Avenue

level to the basement has been removed.Our Trustees decided that the lift was

more hazardous than helpful as itcrowded the steps and no one was really

using it. Additionally, our local FireMarshal gave it only marginal approval

and the state inspector did not giveofficial approval.

How Can I Respond Today?

At FACC we look to the Bible for guidance on

all issues. We believe that God’s 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

the forgiveness of sins and to receive

the Holy Spirit into your life.

To make this life decision for Christ, we ask

that you come forward during our commitment

song at the conclusion of the Sunday message.

Baptized believers are welcome to become

members at 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.
