7 Days of Prayer & Fasting
Preparing Our Hearts for the Rest of the Year
Dates: Monday, August 18 – Sunday, August 24, 2025
Why We’re Fasting
We are taking 7 days to align our hearts with God's purpose and seek His presence for the remainder of the year. Prayer and fasting help us make space to hear from God clearly, renew our strength, and prepare for what He’s about to do in and through our lives and church.
What Is Fasting?
Fasting is voluntarily giving up something—often food or distractions—to focus on God. It’s a spiritual discipline found throughout Scripture that draws us closer to Him.
