21 Days of Prayer & Fasting

TO THE OTHER SIDE

January 7-27, 2023


There is power in gathering together.

From January 7 to 27 on Sunday to Friday nights, we will be meeting at 7pm in the Main Sanctuary to pray. 


This year our theme is "To The Other Side."


“As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Let’s cross TO THE OTHER SIDE of the lake.’ So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind.” - Mark 4:35-36 NLT


No matter what you’re currently going through, Jesus promises to get you to the other side!

FASTING CREATES SPACE FOR GOD TO FILL


A fast is to abstain from all or some kinds of food or drink (or other activities such as social media or TV) in order to seek God. You are free to decide what you fast for the 21 days; however, many people choose to do a “Daniel Fast,” which comes from Daniel 10. See below for guide.

    Including but not limited to beef, lamb, pork, poultry and fish.

     

    All Dairy Products

    Including but not limited to milk, cheese, cream, butter and eggs.
