  Lord, though you should guide us, we inform ourselves; though you should rule us, we control ourselves; though you should fulfill us, we console ourselves. We think your truth too high, your will too hard, your power too remote, your love too free. But they are not! And without them, we are of all people most miserable. Now heal our confused minds with your word, heal our divided wills with your law, heal our troubled consciences with your love, heal our anxious hearts with your presence, all for the sake of your Son, who loved us and gave himself for us. AMEN

ANNOUNCEMENTS

1.  SPIRITUAL GIFTEDNESS
   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, please click HERE where you will be able to click on links to the form and information. 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.
   
   
2. SUMMER MISSIONAL DISCUSSION GROUP
   This summer we invite you into a missional discussion group, where Pastor Kim will lead us through Timothy Keller's book, "Gospel in Life: Grace Changes Everything." Keller’s materials provide us with a great 11-13 minute video and small group discussion prompts along with a personal reflection guide. In Keller’s words, “Throughout this eight-week ascent—from earthly work to the final revelation of grace—you’ll learn how the gospel can change your heart, your community, and how you can live as a disciple of Jesus Christ in this world, right now, even as you look forward to the promise we have in him. Discover how grace really does change everything.” The meetings will be on Thursdays, July 10 to August 28 at 7pm, at the Morrison home. If you would like to be a part of this Summer Missional Discussion Group, you may register HERE.
   
   
3. LAUP SUMMER CAMP FOR KIDS
   We are excited to announce that our Summer Camp, planned by FOL staff and led by InterVarsity’s Los Angeles Urban Project (LAUP) college student interns, will be held at Westside Christian Church, for four weeks of Bible lessons, games, songs & dance, reading practice, arts & crafts and snacks! Camp will begin on June 30 and end on July 25 from 9am-12pm. Kids who finished 2nd grade to leaving 5th grade are welcome to attend. The camp cost is $20 per week to offset expenses. HERE is the camp flyer.
   
   One of the ways that we welcome FOL’s support and opportunity to connect with families participating in the camp is through volunteering! If you would like to offer your time in this way, please sign-up HERE.  
   
   
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.
