22 Day November Fast

Today, many of us have heard the word "fasting" in the context of weight loss or health related conversations. It has become all the rage lately by health gurus. But, fasting has a greater purpose that lies within the words of the bible.

Fasting was the practice of abstaining from food for the direct purpose of focusing on God and His will for a person's life.

This Thanksgiving season we will explore the subject of fasting and enter a church-wide challenge to fast for 22 days in November ending on the Sunday before Thanksgiving.

Fasting does not have to be from food. Although we would challenge you to fast from one meal, once a week if that is not a health risk to you. But, for this fast, we are asking that you choose something that you give up for these three weeks that might be a distraction or hinder your focus on God. We are hoping for more of Jesus, and that as we approach Thanksgiving, we will celebrate it with a whole new spirit of gratitude this year.
