Children of God..."Train a child in the way he should go, and 

when he is old he will not turn from it." 

Proverbs 22:6 

This was written by a 2nd 

Grade student that attend

FACC regularly. He did this on his own and brought i

to church to share last Sunday. I only added

punctuations to this here and there. Everything else i

his words. I pray that it will encourage you.

The forgivnes of JesusOunce upon a time Long ago ther was a mannamd Jesus. he helpt the poor he feed the

sike and held wonds and he had folloers thariskd ther lives to tell other people abouGod. One day Jesus went and told peoplethat he was going to sacefis himself for everyones sins thay had did over the years sopeople beat him up and calld him holubunams and after that he cared his cross up ahill and he got naild up to it and peoplestarted to throw sharp stuff at him. After tha

he was put in to a grave and three days latehe rose agin and people went and told otherpeople the news that Jesus rose and somepeople saw him. The end.

“A Note from brAd….” This week we will wrap up our series on the “Things that a loving God hates”. We will take a look at the theme of “Hands that kill innocent blood”. I do hope you will join us.

As the Palm Sunday cantata draws near, I do hope you will begin inviting friends and family to behere to celebrate our Lord. Many are working hard to provide the best musical presentation that wecan. I am sure you will be blessed as we seek to prepare hearts for the risen Lord.

Isn’t it great to see new faces coming to Fifth Avenue? God is honoring our efforts to communicateto this community that our church exists. I hope that you never tire about sharing your faith andnever give up on those you are praying for to come to this place to hear about Jesus. Whether yourecognize it or not, your words and actions will be the biggest contributor or detriment as towhether someone comes to church here. Scriptures remind us that we are “Ambassador’s forChrist” (2 Cor. 5:20). Let’s make Him proud of the way we live.

I am excited that this Fall we will have two young men attending Cincinnati Christian University.Please pray for Joe Hoagland & Patrick Hinson as they seek direction on how God is leading theirlives for Christian service. Please pray for all our college students that they will be strong and make

wise decisions for their lives.

Last week, Courtney Lockhart was baptized into Christ. Please pray for her during this difficult timeas her father has terminal cancer. May God surround her with positive influences during thischallenging time.

Have a great week.

Brad Seevers, Eph. 3:20-21 

A new Life Group will be held at Timand Marie Huffman’s home beginningApril 10th @ 5 P.M. The study is called:“GET REAL” & is based on the book
