Here at Grace City, we begin each new year by setting aside a week to pursue the Lord and to refocus our minds and hearts on His truth. We fast by giving up something that is important to us- like food, social media, or coffee and we swap out the time we usually spend on that with dedicated times of prayer and scripture reading.
We know that not everyone is familiar with fasting and want to support you as much as we can! We provide a Fasting Guide which explains what fasting is and how to best prepare for it, and also includes some daily devotionals and scripture readings to help encourage you throughout the week.
SCHEDULE:
Prayer times for Monday, Jan. 6th - Thursday, Jan. 9th:
7am - The sanctuary will be available for a time of unstructured prayer on your own before you start your day of work/school
12pm - The sanctuary will be available for a time of unstructured prayer on your own during your lunch break
5:15pm-6:15pm - Join us for a time of worship and guided corporate prayer as we gather together to pray as a church and seek the Lord.
Friday, January 10th - Worship night at 7pm
Join us as we break the fast together and end the week with a corporate time of praise, prayer, and communion on Friday, January 10th at 7pm.
We will also have a time for baptisms at the worship night. If you are interested in getting baptized, we encourage you to use this time to prayer, speak with a GC leader or fill out this form to let us know!
Please note, there is no prayer meeting before the worship night at 7pm.
