Season of fasting and feasting

 
 

TWO WAYS TO ENGAGE THIS SEASON:

1. FAST:

Fasting is an invitation from the Lord to engage with Him in a deeper way. There are many different kinds of fasts to choose from. Regardless of the type of fast you choose to participate in during Lent, it's important to pray about what God is leading you to do. If you have any questions or health concerns, please consult your doctor. Here are some common fasts to choose from:

  • Water fast: Abstaining from all forms of food and drink other than water (We recommend selecting one day a week throughout this season)

  • Juice fast: Abstaining from all solid food and only drinking juice and water (We recommend selecting one day a week throughout this season)

  • Daniel fast: Eating only vegetables and abstaining from meats, sweets, etc.

  • Selective meal fast: Abstaining from certain meals and snacks throughout the day and only eating a reduced amount during a single designated mealtime

 

AND…

2. FEAST:

When we experience hunger during a fast, we are invited to satisfy that hunger by feasting on God’s presence through prayer and His Word. Scripture teaches us that something unique and powerful happens when believers gather together in faith to seek God and cry out to Him with one voice.

Here are some ways to feast this Lent:

  • Attend Gather 25 on February 28 & March 1 to kick off this season.

  • Participate in the regular prayer prompts online from your church (posted on Social Media, on this webpage, or delivered to your inbox each week).

  • Choose a Bible engagement plan. Here are some great apps: YouVersion, Dwell, Read Scripture, or Lectio365.

  • Attend the Good Friday Service on April 18 to culminate this season.
