A Call to Fast

This past Sunday we shared how we'd like to fast this week on behalf of Debbie. She is currently homeless and, particularly as the weather becomes increasing colder, we wanted to take the time to intentionally bring her before God as a community and pray for her housing situation.

We're beginning the fast tomorrow (Wed. October 29th). It can be a one day fast (or whatever you are comfortable with) from food. For those who would be fasting from something else that may not be significant over a mere 24 hour period (eg. television, facebook), an idea is to begin tomorrow and go through until Sunday. Then Sunday night, as part of our prayer time, we'll take time to pray for Debbie together.

Even if you aren't able to fast this week, please join with us in prayer through the day on Wednesday as we lift our friend up to God.
