  Lord Jesus, we have sinned times without number, and been guilty of pride and unbelief, and of neglect to seek you in our daily lives. Our sins and shortcomings present us with a list of accusations, but we thank you that they will not stand against us, for all have been laid on Christ. Deliver us from every evil habit, every interest of former sins, everything that dims the brightness of your grace in us, everything that prevents us taking delight in you. Amen.

3. 2025 BIKING FOR CONGO CHALLENGE
   We have a great opportunity to join in the global work of ECC in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Did you know that some people in DR Congo travel over 50 kilometers (31 miles) on a bicycle to a hospital, while sick or injured? And what's even harder to believe is that when they arrive at the hospital, limited medicines, clean water, and medical training often prevent a person from getting better.
   FOL is invited to participate in the 2025 Biking for Congo Challenge which will support ECC’s UCare4Congo work to provide holistic healthcare. Based upon the vision of Dr. Paul Carlson (a medical missionary with the ECC who was killed while serving in the DR Congo) and the vision of the Covenant Church of Congo medical leaders today, UCare4Congo supports the entire Covenant Church of Congo medical system, which includes training medical professionals, providing medicines and supplies, improving infrastructure and clean water sources, and supporting quality patient care. If you would like to support this important work, please join the FOL Biking team by clicking HERE. You may choose to create your own team, bike to raise support, or simply donate. HERE is a link to the flyer.
   
   
4. COUPLE’S SEMINAR
   Please save the date for a Couple’s seminar on Saturday, October 25. Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Samantha Morey, will lead the time on Attachment Styles and Communication and Relational Resilience. A continental breakfast will be served at 8:30am, and the seminar will begin at 9am and end at 11:30. The seminar location is being finalized.
