Here at Calvary Church, we will give God the first of this new year by pursuing Him in a focused program of prayer and fasting, beginning Monday, January 5th for a period of 21 consecutive days.

We are asking each person to join us in prayer at home or on campus during this time. In addition, we ask each member to fast in some manner during these 21 days. Suggested fasts are on the backside to provide guidance. We also recommend that you focus on your Bible reading discipline during this 21-day period. As we deny the appetite of the carnal man, we need to increase the appetite of the spiritual man. Replace natural bread with spiritual bread.

We will conclude this 21-day period of prayer and fasting on Sunday, January 25th with communion as a church body. We are also requesting that during these 21 days of dedication to the Lord, that we fast from electronic entertainment. We want to get rid of the unnecessary background noise in our lives and tune into what the Spirit is speaking to His Church. We want to learn the value of quietness, peace, and stillness. God speaks to us when we turn to Him.

Safety Note:

If you have health issues, please speak with your health care professional before undertaking any extended fasting regime. This fast is not recommended for children. If you have difficulty with this fast or any other fast, you should seek medical attention immediately.
