prayer + fasting sign up

JANUARY 8TH - 28TH

We are inviting our church family to join us as we begin this New Year with a time of prayer and fasting.
This will be a 21 day fast beginning January 8th and concluding on January 28th.

Fasting is about focusing.
It’s about denying yourself of what would normally be sustaining you and looking to God to sustain you.
It is about feasting on Him instead of on food.  

Weekly Prayer Times 

Monday - Thursday: 6:00am - 7:00am (Conference Room)  / 12:00pm - 1:00pm (Sanctuary) 
Sunday Mornings: 8:30 - 9:30am (Sanctuary) 

Worship + Prayer Night (Sanctuary) 

Wednesdays 6:00pm - 7:30pm 

Fasting Food

Options:
- Fasting lunch, replacing it with prayer
- Fasting food for specific days or portions of the day
- “Daniel fast” - fasting meats, sweets, and wheats (including cheese, alcohol and other “delicacies”)
- Liquid only from sun-up to sun down

Fasting "Inputs"

We live in a digital age that allows us to consume massive amounts of information throughout the day. For our time of fasting, we want to fast some of those inputs and replace them with reading or listening to the scriptures and in quiet reflection and prayer.  

This would include:
Phones
Media - TV and movies, games, sports
Social Media
News of all kinds
