As part of our up&out prayer emphasis we are committing to the practice of fasting on the first Friday of each month!
We hope you'll join us as we seek God in prayer and fasting from Thursday evening until Friday evening. Break your fast with dinner on Friday night! Use your hunger throughout the day to drive you to prayer- for your family, our church, our city, and to listen to what God is saying to you specifically. Bring him your concerns, bold requests, and humble worship!

Want to learn more about why we do this? A few links:
First- Our Intro to Fasting Sermon from Pastor Matt. CLICK HERE to get caught up! It's about 40 minutes long.
Second- An additional teaching series on fasting from a ministry called "Practicing the Way". This group helps local churches engage more fully with practicing spiritual disciplines. They have a few short videos that help us better understand the practice. You'll notice the videos have times where they'll pause for group discussion. Most of us will be watching alone, though, so feel free to click past those parts.
