Day of Prayer & Fasting

Our next day of Prayer and Fasting will be Wednesday, September 2.  On that day, we invite you to join us as a church in skipping one or more meals and focusing that time on prayer. If you are unable to skip a meal for health reasons, try fasting from something else (television, social media, etc.). 

September's Day of Prayer & Fasting Focus

Loneliness has been in the headlines: 

• “Surgeon General Says There’s a Loneliness Epidemic” (The Washington Post)
• “Young People Report More Loneliness Than the Elderly” (USA Today)
• “The Biggest Threat Facing Middle-Aged Men Isn’t Smoking or Obesity. It’s Loneliness” (The Boston Globe)

Interestingly, these headlines aren't related to COVID-19 or social distancing. They're from the pre-COVID days of 2018! If they rang true back then, we can assume that the problem of loneliness has been exacerbated by the increased social isolation of 2020. We were made to engage in meaningful relationships and our recent circumstances have made those difficult.

Please join us on Wednesday, September 2 in fasting from a meal (or meals) or some other time/attention consuming activity and devote that time to praying for God to maintain and develop rich and meaningful relationships here at PCC. Pray for Home Groups, Bible Studies, small groups, and other discipleship relationships to help people continue to connect with others for one-another care and spiritual encouragement. Pray for new guests to feel warmly welcomed. Pray for the lonely to find the loving community that they long for.
