Like we did at the beginning of this year, we would like to set apart the first week of 2023 for a time of prayer and fasting, starting Monday the 2nd. Fasting from food is an expression of the believers’ hunger for God, dependence upon his grace, and discontentment with a fallen world. It is a crucial but often neglected spiritual discipline.

We’ve created a prayer guide to use for this week, which you can find at our resource desk in the main lobby. It contains Scripture readings to guide your prayers, a church prayer focus, and daily challenges, as well as descriptions of different kinds of fasts that you can do. We hope you make plans to participate with us!
