Sunday Wrap Up...21 Day Fast Begins Friday

Good service today! A little different than normal, but God's spirit spoke his word to us today. A great report from Ron regarding the mission Saturday morning. Wow, what a great group...thirty-nine people showing up at 4.45 am to go to serve homeless people. Unbelievable! Thank you to all who attended.

We will be doing our 21 day fast again this year. The fast begins Friday. It's your choice on what kind of fast. Please pray about participating. What's the purpose of such a fast? First of all, to get "tuned in" to the voice and will of God. Secondly, to offer your first 21 days as a kind of first fruits to God. Believe me, he will bless you during and after the fast. Thirdly, it will bring some discipline to your life. And there are many other purposes of a fast.

You can fast one meal a day. You could fast two meals a day. You could fast food until 3 pm a day (Jewish fast). You could do a vegetable and water fast. You could do a television fast. You could abstain from food all together and drink just fluids. There are all kinds of fasts, but pray about it and you might even see some web sites on fasting or read some a book on fasting. Just be led of the Spirit of God. He will bless you and the church as we fast and pray together in January.

Have a wonderful week!

-Pastor Randy
