First Friday Fast

FRIDAY, MARCH 1

This year, we'll be spending the first Friday of every month fasting together and praying for a particular topic. Church members who fast for all 12 Fridays will be invited to a year-end party to celebrate the answers to our prayers. If fasting is new to you, here are some instructions. 

This month, we’re praying for our small groups. Here are a few ideas to guide your prayer:

• Pray for every member of our church to be vitally involved in, cared for by others and caring for others through small groups

• Pray for our small groups to be contexts where guests feel welcome

• Pray for our next small group leaders (whoever they might be) to be developed in their gifts of leadership and mercy

• Pray that our small groups would be launching pads for ministry toward our hurting neighbors

• Pray that our small groups would be launching pads for deep one-on-one discipleship with one another throughout the week

• Pray that true sanctifying discipleship would take place at our small groups

• Pray that the Spirit would be present and active to minister the Gospel, reveal God’s Word and dispense His gifts during our meetings
