- COMMUNITY CONFESSION:
Holy Father, we confess that we may approach you with our mouths and our lips, when our hearts are not in worship. We confess that we offer to you that which costs us little. Though you are a great King, we often bring to you the leftovers of our time, energy, gifts, and worship. We have neglected your commands when it is inconvenient for us to keep them. We have ignored your laws when it causes us to lose our ease. We have disregarded our neighbors' needs, and wondered aloud why other people do not meet our needs. O Father, have mercy on us! Forgive us of our many debts! Cleanse us and give us the mind and heart of Jesus, who came not to be served but to serve and to give His life a ransom for many. In His name, and for His sake, we come to you. Amen. - ASSURANCE OF PARDON (1 Peter 1:3-4)

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. - TITHES AND OFFERINGS
You may give online (folcov.org/give) or place your offering in the wooden box to the right of the stage.
