Hey LCC, As 2023 begins, we will be joining with churches from all over the world in 21 days of prayer and fasting. As we are now in a new year, we want to seek the Lord with others for the things God wants to do in our lives, families, communities, work places, churches, cities, and world. As we have done the past few years, we are asking our LCC family to join in a global endeavor to fast and pray with the global body of Christ.
Along with our Foursquare family, many churches in the Central Valley are taking part in a 21-days of prayer and fasting time to seek the Lord both for the year as well as to invite God to intervene in the current situation of our church and world. You can see details about how churches in Fresno, Clovis, and the surrounding areas are participating in this time in the links below.
Whatever prayer and fasting looks like for you and your family, we would love to have you partner with us in prayer as we seek God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength as a community .
Check out some of these links with resources for us to maximize this time of prayer and fasting as a church community:

We look forward to the things God wants to do in our hearts and lives as we join with others in this time of prayer and fasting!
