The Leadership team is inviting you to pray and fast with us. To fast one meal on Thursdays for the next 6 months. Choose to fast a meal where you can spend that time in prayer. If Thursday does not work for you, choose a day that works for you. The reason for prayer and fasting is a recognition that Jesus is building His church. We believe that God will speak to us and provide vision, direction, and wisdom for us as a local church. We are praying and seeking God so that we can join Him in what He is doing, to be used by Him as He builds His church.
