  Our Father, forgive our sins. Forgive the sins that we remember, and the sins we have forgotten. Forgive our many failures in the face of temptation, and those times when we have been stubborn in the face of correction. Forgive the times we have been proud of our own achievements and those when we have failed to boast in your works. Forgive the harsh judgments we have made of others, and the leniency we have shown to ourselves. Forgive the lies we have told to others, and the truths we have avoided. Forgive us the pain we have caused others and the indulgence we have shown ourselves. Lord God, have mercy on us and make us whole. In Jesus Christ, our Savior’s name. AMEN

ANNOUNCEMENTS

1.  FAMILY CENTER PACK-UP DAY
   On Saturday, May 31st, from 8am-2pm we will have an opportunity to help pack-up the Family Center before Bill and the team begin demolition work! Please consider joining in this time of sorting, packing, and throwing out items, while thanking the Lord for all He has done in the last era and making way for the new. You are welcome to come for the whole time, or in whatever slots during the day that you are available. Lunch, snacks, and drinks will be provided.
   
   
2. FAMILY CAMP ALTERNATIVE DISCUSSION GROUP
   We are looking to gather a group of people who are interested in discerning what a Family Camp alternative could look like for our church. If you have a desire to be a part of a brainstorming discussion, Gaby Schmidt will be leading the time on Sunday, June 1, 12:45-2:30 pm at her home (3844 Brayton Ave, LB 90807). Please visit this form to indicate your interest and if you are able to attend. This would just be a brainstorming time and does not mean a further commitment from you after that meeting. Thank you very much for your input!
   
   
3. SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM PASTOR KIM
   While Pastor Kim is away on study leave, in her times of planning and prayer, God has laid on her heart the necessity of meeting with each member of FOL to discuss their spiritual gifts, family situation, and current ministry commitments. Pastor Kim wants to ensure that nobody is over-committed based on their season of life and that there is nobody who has not yet found their place of service at the church - and may be feeling on the outside looking in. She also wants to ensure that you each receive proper training or evaluation where requested for functioning in your spiritual gifts. If you have not already filled out the "Spiritual Gifts of FOL" form from summer 2024, you can do so here. Pastor Kim would also like you to select a time where she would be able to have a Zoom meeting time with you to discuss these items. Kindly select your meeting times by June 1. She hopes to meet with all members during the summer.
   
   
4. PASTORAL PRAYER
   Pastor Kim would love to be able to pray for you. If you have any prayer concerns please let her know by entering your request on this form. You do not need to share your identity - it can be completely confidential if this is your preference. One the primary roles of your pastor, or of any spiritual leader, is to carry you on their heart and to therefore carry you into the presence of God as they pray for you.
   
   
5. TITHES AND OFFERINGS
