Plan for the Week of Prayer and Fasting

Mark the dates in your calendar and make plans to take part in our week of Prayer and Fasting…..

 We have a dedicated webpage for the week – kerith.church/prayer where you can find our really helpful fasting guide to download, as well as all the details and info you need for the various prayer gatherings taking place. 

Whats on Monday 5th- Friday 10th

From Monday 6th- Friday 10th week we’ll spend the first half of the week focusing on prayer around ‘Breathing in’ God’s presence for us and those around us, and the second half praying that we can ‘breathe out’ God’s presence, impacting the world around us for His Kingdom. 

• Daily Pray along with the Kerith Community on Simon Benham’s Prayercast on Facebook 6:45-7am live (or watch it back!)
  

• Daily blog content for the prayer theme from Simon Benhams Blog ( make sure you have signed up to get it in your email or head to this page every day CLICK HERE )

• Evening Prayer Zoom 20:00-21:00- join with all the sites to pray with the Site Pastor’s on Monday to Thursday nights for an hour. We’ll Breathe IN and OUT during the week!

Fasting

As the name suggests, we are also encouraging everyone to consider fasting in this week too – whether fasting a particular meal each day, or abstaining from a particular behaviour or activity throughout the week in order to focus your attention and heart on God – lets dedicate this week however we can to seeking God’s presence.  

I’m reminded how God spoke through Joshua ahead of Israelites moving into the Promised Land when he said “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.”
Let that be the case in this upcoming week!
