Prayer & Fasting

Every week in July

7 pm Sunday - 7 pm Monday

Every week in July, we are committing to a 24-hour fast to seek the Lord both individually and as a body. We encourage everyone to join in on this initiative to intentionally grow and strengthen our faith. 

Schedule

24-hour food fast
  • Sunday (7/6) at 7 pm through Monday (7/7) at 7 pm
  • Sunday (7/13) at 7 pm through Monday (7/14) at 7 pm
  • Sunday (7/20) at 7 pm through Monday (7/21) at 7 pm
  • Sunday (7/27) at 7 pm through Monday (7/28) at 7 pm

If you are able, we encourage you to join us in fasting all food, but feel free to structure your fast as the Lord leads you.

Breaking the fast

We break the fast each Monday at 7 pm. Feel free to do so on your own or join us at Todd and Lori Hall's home. We meet at 6 pm for an hour of prayer and worship together, followed by dinner at 7 pm to break the fast. Lori cooks the main dish, and we ask that everyone bring a side dish to share. If unable, come anyway!

If you plan to join us at the Hall's home, please RSVP each week to Lori at (847) 877-9782.
