A Note from brAd.

Hello FACC family! What a great day of celebration for Palm Sunday! I want to thank Scott, Sarah, Gideon,Phyllis and Kim for assisting me with the worship. I also want to thank Phyllis for encouraging so many of ourchurch family to participate in the choir cantata. The choir was fabulous! They worked so hard for the pastseven weeks and I must say it was quite a blessing. Thanks again Phyllis for having the courage to take on such

a big project. You did a great job! A big thank you is also owed to John Baird for his patience as our soundman. A sound man often performs a thankless job. Patrick also did excellent with the narration! While were

giving thanks, I thank each of you who invited your friends and family for this special day. We had a total of 260 in attendance plus 10 on a Jr.Hi trip to a CIY convention. May God be praised!

I want to take this time to encourage you to participate in our upcoming Curious 303 course. This particularclass will help you discover what your spiritual gifts are. The reason this is so important is because you havesomething to offer the Lord and this church. He has created you for His purpose, not that of your own. If youwant to join me, please call to register at 740.654.0626 (office) or 740.550.9882 (my cell).

Allow me to make you aware of some upcoming events:

May 9-Mothers Day Worship. I hope you will plan to spend this great day with us as we celebrate with and pay tribute to one of lifes highest callings; being a mother.

May 16- Friends Day. On this day, we hope you will invite your best friend to our Sunday service. I will be speaking that morning on friendship and we plan to make it a fun day for your enjoyment.

Each week we are meeting new families. As our church family grows, we have a greater need for yourinvolvement. Please consider how God might use you to build His kingdom. Have a great week and may Godbless your life.

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

Glen's Thoughts

As I wrote about last week, we went to Anderson, INthis past weekend with 6 middle school students for a

Christ In Youth Conference. We had an absolutelyawesome time, and I hope that you will continue topray that this weekend will lead to greater things forthese kids.

The theme of the weekend was on Esther. If you havenot read this story in a while, I encourage you to checkit out here in the next week. It is an amazing tale of acourageous, wise young lady.

The conference's angle on the story is that we all have"here" and "now" moments. Our "here" momentsconsist of our everyday lives. Whether we arestudents, teachers, parents, athletes, gardeners, orwhatever else may describe us. The world we live inthey described as "here." Esther's "here" moment wasbeing a young orphan who was thrust into power asthe Queen of Persia. Pretty cool, but very scary I amsure. Our "now" moment describes opportunities thatwe have to serve God. Esther had a life-threateningopportunity to serve God and save her people bywalking into the king's court uninvited. Because shewas brave enough to respond to God's call, theJewish nation was saved and God blessed her life. Idoubt that you will have any "now" moments this weekthat are quite that dramatic, but I hope you are lookingfor them with as much zeal as Esther .
