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.”
We are concluding our lesson on sin’s consequences and the effect it has on others as
well as our heart. Our Bible test will be Tuesday, December 10.
