Beginning January 2 at sunrise and ending on January 22 at sundown, we will be having a church-wide Daniel Fast. Fasting is a way to consecrate our lives to God through prayer and denial of the flesh. By fasting the first 3 weeks of the year, we are asking for God’s blessing on the new year and praying for His guidance for our church.
During a Daniel Fast, we abstain from all animal products (both meat & dairy), from breads, from all sweets (whether natural or artificial), from fried foods, and from all foods that are processed or contain chemicals. In addition, we drink only water. Susan Gregory’s book, The Daniel Fast, is a wonderful resource and includes all the guideslines, a cookbook, and a devotional. I pray that you take this amazing jourey with us and see where God will take you!
