I would like to invite you to join us from this Sunday, 8 January until Sunday, 29 January for 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting. (See notes below about Joel’s sermon from Sunday) How & when you fast during this time should be determined by you, and children will be encouraged to fast in different ways so as to not miss meals.
Fasting Guide
A great way to connect with God is the discipline of fasting. If you’ve never participated in a fast before, here is a guide to give you some tips and ideas on how to create your fasting plan. The main focus is to abstain from a certain activity or food so you can draw closer to God through prayer.
Bible Reading Plan
The 21-day bible reading plan offered by Bible.com, is a great way to help you focus spiritually during your fast. View it here.

Below you will find notes from Joel’s message Sunday. Due to technical difficulties, the podcast stops around declaration #2 below, so Joel has shared his notes in detail with us from that point forward.
