Fresh Start: 7-Day Church-Wide Fast
It’s September, and that means we’ve reached the final church-wide fast of 2023.
Throughout this year, we have spent time fasting and reflecting on what it takes to have a Fresh Start. The theme of this church-wide fast is Fresh Start: Engage! When we commit to being fully engaged in what God is doing through us and our church, we are better equipped to serve well. During the seven days of this fast, we will be incorporating both food and technology fasting. Get ready to spend time meditating on God’s Word and key Biblical principles as we close out the year with a fresh spirit to serve.
As part of this Fresh Start 7-Day Fast, we encourage you to follow this daily fasting guide which includes the technology and food restrictions for each day, Bible reading, and reflective journal prompts. Be mindful to make prayer a part of your daily routine as you engage in this time of fasting. Prayer is a key practice in our relationship with God because this is the way that we communicate with Him. We pray using words and silence; listening and waiting on the Holy Spirit to direct us is a major component of prayer. A humble heart and a mind open to Jesus is what He expects, and the Holy Spirit will do the rest (Romans 8:26-27).
