Oct. 29- I am growing more excited about ourGO FORTH WEEKEND. God is going to

use several of you to make a difference. This past weekend we had our Project Leadersscouring the church building seeking for volunteers and I must confess that they had agreat response so far for those willing to GO FORTH. This weekend you might beapproached by one of these leaders. Will you help meet the need? Will you use your God-given abilities for His glory? We have given you ample time to plan ahead so that you couldsave this date. We have been talking about it for over a month so please consider being avital part of helping our community to see the love of God through you.

You can read more on the front cover about what those service options are.

Oct.30- Ministry Fair! This is going to be a an exciting day as we have a special time of

worship which will include personal testimonies and praise for the good that God is doingthrough the lives of Christians here at FACC. On this day, you will have opportunity toperuse the various ministries of the church to see where you might be able to get

PLUGGED-IN. Everyone needs a ministry! God requires you to serve Him in somecapacity. In preparation for that day, I ask that you take time to pray for the Spiritsleading in your life, as well as having read through the Parable of the Talents in Matthew25. If you currently serve over a ministry, please contact me by October 16 th so I can speakto you about the needs of your ministry.

Our Life groups are going really well. We have had many new people commit to being a

part of our home Bible studies. I do hope that others may consider being a part of some ofour upcoming groups. Be looking for more opportunities in the near future.

New Class-This Sunday I plan to begin a new study entitled: Marriage Built to Last.I do hope you will join us if you are still not committed to a Sunday school class already.For those of us who participated in our last marriage study, we felt it just wet our appetitefor continued study in this area. We begin at 9:15. If you have questions, call Brad at740-550-9882. I hope to see you then.

In His Service,

Brad Seevers, Ephesians 3:20-21
