fast

This year for the season of Lent we are calling our people to join in us in fasting desserts to draw closer to God and prepare our hearts for Easter.  A fast is when we abstain from something in order to draw near to God.  We use our cravings as an opportunity to remind us to pray.  The fast is a dessert fast, so we will be giving up eating any desserts for Lent.  Lent starts on Ash Wednesday, February 22.  Lent ends on Easter.  Traditionally, Christians have fasted Monday through Saturday during Lent but were allowed to eat on Sunday.  So each Sunday you will be allowed to eat desserts.  If you have any questions, please contact the church office.
