This year we are incredibly excited to see the church transformed into Promise Island, wherekids discover God’s lifesaving love through God’s promises offered throughout scripture.Workers in Hawaiian shirts, kids greeted with a lei at the door, a song comparing the sweetnessof God’s love to bananas, papayas, and mangos; this is going to be awesome, and we do not wantyou to miss out!

If you are interested in serving, we have two simple options for signing up. You could simplytear off the small form at the bottom of this page and place it in the offering or stick it in the boxhanging outside of the secretary’s office. The other way that you can sign up to volunteer is by

going to www.vacationbibleschool.com/fifthavenue. The volunteer sign-up page will take less

than 5 minutes for you to fill out but will be a world of blessing for organizing this week. Eitherway you use, you do not need to know where you want to serve. We will follow up with you totalk about opportunities. No matter your skill set, we will find a comfortable place for you.

For all of you wonderful people who are able to help serve these kids, we are going to have a bigVBS meeting right after second service on Sunday, April 29. We will all gather together for acarry-in meal, so please bring a hot dish, salad, or dessert to share.

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 receivethe 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.
