Day of Prayer & Fasting

This Good Friday, as a church family, we are intentionally fasting and spending time in prayer for the unchurched in our community, and all across our nation. Easter Weekend is the time when unchurched people are most likely to attend a church event or church service, so we do not want to waste that opportunity!

We will begin fasting Friday morning at sunrise, and will then break our fast together through communion at the Good Friday service. A sign up sheet will be available at the Chapel exits.
