• PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
  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. GRIEF SHARE
   A Grief Share support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way. If you would like to participate in this group, please click on the link HERE to register. This group will begin on August 17th at 7-8:30pm at the church offices and will continue weekly for 13 weeks. Carol Sato & Pastor Kim will be facilitating this time together.
   
   
2. MINISTRY TEAM RETREAT SAVE-THE-DATE
   We are delighted to announce that we will be holding our first Ministry Team Retreat. This will be an amazing time for all folks who are involved in ministry at FOL. The retreat will be a time to love on our leaders, play together, plan together, and pray together. We will be able to share bonding experiences with our ministry teams and with each other. Please Save-the-Date for November 14-15, 2025. We will be traveling to Camp Maranatha in Idyllwild CA for a 24-hour retreat. Our time together will begin around a meal on Friday evening and continue until an evening meal on Saturday, around 6pm. The cost of the camp is $164 per person. However, FOL is covering this as part of the member development that was in the budget for this year. We want to invest in you as individuals, and hope that this will be a time when you can receive. The registration form and more information will be released soon so please look out for #playplanpray.
