Day of Prayer & Fasting
Our next day of Prayer and Fasting will be Wednesday, February 5. 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.).
January's Day of Prayer & Fasting Focus
Fasting is a way that we as the body of Christ can demonstrate our dependence upon the Lord, as well as reach out to him in prayer for a particular cause. On Wednesday, January 8, we fasted from a meal or more in order to ask our Heavenly Father to bless Sanctity of Human Life Month.
This Day of Prayer and Fasting reminds us of the most vulnerable in our society - the unborn. As Christians, we know that God has knit together every human life, and a not-yet-born baby bears as much the image of God as does a fully-grown human life. This Wednesday dedicate time to pray that our society will value life from its very conception, support and encourage mothers going through difficult or unplanned pregnancies, and help welcome new life into the world by caring well for children and their families at every stage of development. Stop by the Women's Ministry table on Sunday to find out more about CareNet Peninsula, the local pregnancy center in Newport News.
