a note from your Pastors
It's a new season - for some, it's back to school season or getting settled back into work, ending a busy summer, or adjusting to kids leaving for college.
For others in our church, you might be walking through a trying season - desperate for God's healing and deliverance. Unexpected health challenges or unexpected financial burdens from flooding.
Wherever you find yourself right now, we're coming together as a church to pray, fast, and seek God.
prayer times during the week

information about fasting
What is fasting?
Quite simply, it’s the Biblical practice of abstaining from food for spiritual purposes.
What is the purpose of fasting?
Fasting is a means of humbling yourself before God. It enables the Holy Spirit to reveal your true spiritual condition, resulting in brokenness, repentance, and a transformed life.
Did Jesus want all believers to fast?
In Matthew 6:16, Jesus taught fasting as a believer’s duty, saying, “When you fast ….” Notice He said when you fast, not if you fast. Jesus expected His disciples to fast as a natural result of discipleship — just as He expects us to give to the needy and pray passionately (Matthew 6:2,5,16).
What if I cannot fast for health reasons?
It is important for you to be wise when fasting. If you have health concerns, chronic medical conditions, etc., seek your doctor’s instruction before you begin fasting. If you are unable to fast, we welcome you to participate in praying and worshipping fervently with the church this week.
during the week of prayer and fasting
-
Plan ahead and set aside specific time to seek God in prayer and worship every day. If we do not plan for this significant time, it will either be rushed or missed altogether.
-
Repent of sin and ask God’s forgiveness so there is no barrier between you and the Lord as you seek him.
-
Read God’s Word - take time to listen as God’s speaks to you through His Word. Write things down to remember what God spoke to you.
