To fast is to “abstain from all or some kinds of food or drink, especially as a religious observance.” Christian fasting should not be considered a punishment, but rather, a way to be God-focused. When we voluntarily abstain from food, drink, and other activities in our lives, we deepen our relationship with God and grow in greater spiritual maturity. Fasting doesn’t have to be just about abstaining from food - it may include lots of things such as abstaining from certain activities, electronics, TV/media, etc.

Monday, January 10th marks the beginning of our church-wide 21 Day Fast as we start the New Year together in prayer for our church, our community, and our world.

Consider what you’ll be fasting from beginning next week and share your decision with a friend - accountability can help you follow through on making it through all 21 days!
