“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:18-19
In 2022, we believe that God is doing a NEW THING in and among us. He has given us the word “RENEW” for the year, and we invite you to join us during a time of prayer and fasting over the next 21 days. During this time, we pray that He begins to renew our minds, hearts and church!

Wednesday, January 12 Prayer focus - Redemption
Wednesday, January 19 Prayer focus - Reconciliation

There will be prayer activities for children ages 5 and up. Child care will be available for ages 4 and under.

FASTING
To consecrate ourselves, we must prepare both spiritually and physically. In the Bible, fasting is often referred to as abstaining from food or excess in order that we can turn our attention to God. Fasting and prayer together is a powerful discipline that can transform lives!
Never fasted before? That’s quite ok! Here are some resources that you may find helpful as you begin your journey.
Complete Fast
In this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option.
Selective Fast
This type of fast involves removing certain elements from your diet. One example of a selective fast is the Daniel Fast, during which you remove meat, sweets, and bread from your diet and consume water and juice for fluids and fruits and vegetables for food.
Partial Fast
This fast is sometimes called the “Jewish Fast” and involves abstaining from eating any type of food in the morning and afternoon. This can either correlate to specific times of the day, such as 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, or from sunup to sundown.
Soul Fast
This fast is a great option if you do not have much experience fasting food, have health issues that prevent you from fasting food, or if you wish to refocus certain areas of your life that are out of balance. For example, you might choose to stop using social media or watching television for the duration of the fast and then carefully bring that element back into your life in healthy doses at the conclusion of the fast.
