REGULAR PRAYER
Prayer at the Heart
We believe prayer is central to all we do, and we’d love you to join us. Every week we gather online from 6:30–7am on Tuesdays to pray for revival, and on Thursdays to pray through Scripture. This term we have a new online time added on Wednesdays from 5.30-6pm online. On Sunday mornings, we meet in person for prayer before our services, preparing our hearts together.
Prayer Weeks
Because prayer is central to all we do, we have three weeks of the year where we gather to pray daily, typically in January, April and September.
Our next month of prayer is 6th September to 2nd October,

FASTING
What is fasting?
The goal of fasting is to draw nearer to God. Biblical fasting always involves eliminating distractions to focus on a spiritual purpose. It serves as a reset button for the soul, renewing us from the inside out. Fasting enables us to celebrate God's goodness and mercy while preparing our hearts for all that he wants to do in our lives. Your fast should challenge you, but it is crucial to understand your body, consider your options, and seek God's guidance in prayer, following the Holy Spirit's leading.
If you are on medication or have underlying health conditions, fasting from food or fluids may not be advisable. We strongly discourage fasting from all food and fluids entirely, except for brief periods during the day. Therefore, carefully consider the type and duration of fast you commit to, ensuring it aligns with both your spiritual goals and physical health.
