24 Hour Fast - Experience Hunger, Experience God

Beginning Friday, April 27th, the Sr. High youth are invited to begin fasting at 1:00 pm and to go without food for 24 straight hours. Fasting is an ancient spiritual discipline, whereby a person comes to acknowledge a deep-seeded hunger and to also acknowledge that, ultimately, only God can fill that void. It helps develop an awareness that there is more to life than simply food and drink. It also helps develop compassion for others who find themselves frequently without food or clean water.

Fasting helps develop an awareness of ourselves, an awareness of others, and an awareness of God.

If you would like to participate in this year's fast, please do one of the following:

Although this year's fast will begin at 1:00 pm on Friday, we will not meet at the church until 6:00 pm that evening. So, you will need to keep yourself accountable for the first five hours of the fast.

Our fast will conclude with the Lord's Supper and with a shared lunch on Saturday, April 28th.

Finally, we are asking the congregation to support those of you who are fasting by either praying for you or by offering money for future acts of service.

Experience hunger. Experience the One who said he "is the bread of life."
