We are dedicating Friday’s for prayer and fasting.

Why?

Historically, the church has fasted on Friday.
Friday was the day Jesus was crucified. It was a day of humiliation. A day of bearing the sins of others. And historically it has been a day of collective fasting and prayer. 

Therefore, we dedicate Fridays to fasting and prayer, given our country’s current suffering.

Find some time today to lift up your prayers to God. 

Below are the prayer blocks. We invite you to join us, even if you can’t actually join us.
