Our Vision
The vision of Fifth Church is to be an attractive and inviting community that brings people who are presently on the outside into life-changing relationships with Jesus and His followers. We are doing this by updating our current facilities and launching a new congregation.

Annual Ministry Report
Each year this gives us an opportunity to look back and see some of the highlights of the past year so that we can get a better picture of where we've been, where we are presently, and where we are headed in the future.

Opportunities to Serve

Caring Card Ministry
Do you have a creative flare - or even wish that you did? Then help us make special cards for our special church family. Our creations are used by Fifth church to send out to our church family for birthdays, get well, sympathy, etc. Come join the fun on the last Monday of every month at 7:00 pm, in the middle fellowship hall. The first one will be on Monday, September 29. If you have any questions, feel free to call Janelle Henderson.

Use Your Gifts!

Global Missions at Fifth
This week we invite you to pray for the Global Missions of the Reformed Church in America:

• for the opportunities, challenges, efforts and responsibilities worldwide.

• for staff persons-administrators, office staff, regional secretaries, board members, all missionaries with their children, and short-term missionaries.

• for frontier efforts-reaching the unreached, isolated and neglected peoples around the globe who have never known your peace.

• for partnership with established churches, other missions and agencies.

• for links with missions and organizations that respond to human need and teach developmental skills.

• for our churches who are faithful and also for churches whose mission has dimmed.

• for members of our churches who do not see the Great Commission of Jesus as the major concern of every church.

Lord, we thank you for the great mission history of the RCA, but help us not to bask in past victories while we ignore the great needs of today.
