We have made it a priority to seek God first in prayer. We do this collectively as a church every year in January through 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. This month is intentional as we begin to pray towards the year ahead. Together, we faithfully seek God first, trusting in Him to break through in our lives, our households, our church, and our nation.

Begins 7th January 2024
Fasting is the voluntary act of abstaining from food and/or drink for the purpose of developing our intimacy with God. Through an act of self-discipline, which is the essence of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, we intentionally spend more time with God in prayer.
We believe that fasting is a living part of the Christian walk. Wherever you are on your personal journey, God answers us through prayer and fasting.
Take a look at "What is fasting?" and "The benefits of fasting". These are two videos we shared in the past in our Connect Groups and we think they will help you to prepare yourself for this incredible time of seeking God together. In these videos, Ps Peter Prothero and Ps Mark Collard unpack some of the types of fasts you can do, as well as some helpful practical tips!
We will have multiple prayer meeting during the fast:
