It’s time to fast, get on our knees, and ask God for great things in 2014. Tomorrow marks the final stretch of Mars Hill Church’s Living for a Legacy through Prayer campaign and the beginning of our church-wide fast. We invite everyone to join us in abstaining from food together for five days, whether you attend a Mars Hill church or follow online. By fasting, we express our hunger for Jesus and remember our utter reliance on him.
The fast will run from sundown tomorrow, January 5th, through sundown on Friday, January 10th. We encourage alternative disciplines for those who cannot forego food for health purposes—e.g. abstaining from television, Facebook, or a hobby, and focusing that time on Jesus instead.
On the evening of the 10th, we will gather as a family at each of our locations to celebrate by breaking our fasts together. If you do not attend a Mars Hill church, we encourage you to have a celebratory meal of thanksgiving and rejoicing with those around you.
