Hey LCC, As 2020 comes to an end and 2021 begins, we will be joining with churches from all over the world in 21 days of prayer and fasting. Tomorrow marks the start of a new year, and as such 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. Like we talked about last week at Zoom church, from January 1-21, 2021, we are asking our LCC family to join in on this global endeavor to fast and pray.
Along with our Foursquare family, many churches in the Central Valley are asking their people to fast and pray for 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 is up to you. We value your partnership 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:
Here is a Prayer Guide complete with Scripture readings and prayer focuses for each day.
See the Foursquare website on 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting.
Here is a PDF copy of the chapter on “The Discipline of Fasting” from the book “Celebration of Discipline: The Path to Spiritual Growth” by Richard Foster.
From the Fresno/Clovis Pastor’s Cluster, see this digital schedule of the “21 Days Live Stream schedule for January 11-31, 2021.” Although the dates are a bit different for the 21 days of prayer and fasting that we are doing, these live stream events provide great ways to seek God and connect with others in prayer, worship, and mutual encouragement.
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!
