• PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
  O Lord, we openly admit that you know us thoroughly. Our deepest secrets are open before you. You know our thoughts before they are conceived in our minds. We cannot hide from you. Therefore, we ask that you discover unto us our sins so that we may humble ourselves again in your presence and seek your forgiveness and grace. We admit we have tolerated sinful thoughts about power, lust, greed, jealousy, malice and other things that grieve your heart. We have committed sins of omission and commission. But we seek your mercy and cleansing from our sins by the blood of Christ. And we thank you for your Spirit who enables us to walk in holiness and obedience. Give us the grace to please you this day and forever. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

ANNOUNCEMENTS 

1. MINISTRY TEAM RETREAT
   We are delighted to invite all folks who are involved in ministry at FOL to our first Ministry Team Retreat on November 14-15, 2025, at Camp Maranatha, Idyllwild, CA for a 24-hour retreat. We have the hope that this will be a powerful time of receiving from the Lord, bonding with our ministry teams, with each other, and enjoying time to play together, plan together and pray together. We also have an amazing band that will lead us in powerful times of worship! Our time together will begin around a meal on Friday evening and continue until an evening meal on Saturday at 5:30pm. 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. Please click here to register! Here is the retreat flyer and here is the retreat schedule.
