Prayer & Fasting Event
February 27, 2024 6:30pm
Starting Tuesday, February 27 at 6:30pm we as a church are participating in a 24-hour prayer and fast.
Join us for a powerful time of prayer!
-
What is fasting?
- Fasting is when we voluntarily go without food for a period of time and instead direct our attention more fully to God. It is a spiritual practice that helps align our hearts more closely with God when combined with prayer.
-
Why do we do it?
- Fasting gives us space to intentionally pause the everyday distractions to hear the voice of God. We get to spend time with God, declutter our hearts, and feel refreshed with him.
-
What to do:
- We will fast for 24 hours (Tuesday, February 27, 6:30pm to Wednesday, February 28, 6:30pm).
- The church will be open for prayer from 6pm–10:30pm on Tuesday and 5:50am–8:30am on Wednesday.
- Stay hydrated throughout the fast.
- Set aside time to pray throughout the 24 hours - use the prayer prompts on the other side.
- When you feel hungry, remember this is a reminder to pray.
- Read your Bible (the Psalms and Gospels are great places to start).
- Take time to worship - find the Playlist on Spotify (Eastern Hills Community Church).
- Spend time being quiet and listening.
- Optional: Journal what you learn, experience, and hear.
- Celebrate the end of your fast at our Night of Worship - Wednesday, 2/28 at 6:30pm.
