Bible (Miss Reech)
MV: Psalm 32:5 - “Then I admitted my sin to you. I didn’t cover up the wrong I had done.
I said, “I will admit my lawless act to the Lord and you forgave the guilt of my sin.” This
week we are learning about sin’s consequences and the effect it has on others as well
as our heart. We will not have a Bible test this week.
