WEEK OF FASTING AND
Praying
WEEK OF FASTING & Praying
Since the foundation of the church, followers of Jesus have gathered together to praise the Lord, confess their need for the Lord, and ask him to move with power in their midst. And for centuries, the church has witnessed and experienced God respond to the praises and petitions of his people. Our week of fasting and prayer is an opportunity to join with us, and centuries of Christians, as we call upon the name of the Lord.
Throughout this week (3/10/25-3/13/25), we will gather on Zoom for prayer each night at 7:30 pm ET. The link to access these nightly calls is below:

And we’ll cap off the week by gathering in person for our monthly time of corporate prayer on Friday night (3/14/25).
The themes and verses for the Week of Fasting & Prayer are below for you to reference.

PURPOSE OF FASTING
The purpose of a fast is to abstain from something good in order to spend time in prayer, confessing a greater need for Jesus. Whenever you feel the desire for whatever you are giving up, allow that to be a reminder to turn to Jesus in prayer and worship.
