As we get nearer to the election, the divide in our country is not just concerning but alarming. As a church it’s never been more important to be agents of peace to those around us (and online) and to be praying for our country.
With this in mind, starting October 6 and ending on Election Day November 3, we want to invite you to join with others in our church family for a weekly time of prayer and fasting on Tuesday’s. During this time we’ll have resources and prayer points to help you engage in prayer, as well as a lunch Zoom call for you to join in on if you’re able.
Why Fast?
Fasting is a spiritual discipline that we see throughout the scriptures. In the New Testament it is almost always connected with prayer (Lk. 2:37, Acts 13:2) and sometimes in conjunction with a time of seeking God’s will or in preparation for a new season of life or ministry (Acts 14:23). Fasting is typically done by not eating food for a period of time, often 24 hours. Whether it’s one meal or one week, how you fast isn’t as important as why.
We hope you’ll consider joining us in prayer and fasting on Tuesday’s for the month of October as we pray for our nation. If you’re able to join us for lunchtime prayer please email us here for the Zoom link.
