Fasting 2012

On Sunday, January, 15, we began a church-wide 21-day fast to start the new year trusting in God for His strength and direction in all that we do in 2012. You do not have to fast all 21 days; you can fast single days or meals. You can also do a “Daniel Fast.” There are many ways that you can participate. Below are some links to help you in your fast:

• Quick Tips
• Fasting Basics
• Types of Fasting
• For further reading on fasting (tips, recipes, etc.), please click here.
• If you are participating in a “Daniel Fast,” here is a food list and a meal planner.

We recommend that you always consult your physician prior to beginning any type of fast. If you are poor in health or have concerns about your physical ability to fast, we especially urge you to consult a physician before beginning your fast. There are different types of fasts recommended in the links above. Your doctor can provide advice on how you can participate in a way that is healthy for you.
