As a church, we are calling for a three-day fast in preparation for choosing the elders for 2026.

Fasting is the giving up of food for a period of time for the purpose of prayer and listening to God for direction.  However, there are some people who may not be able to fast from food due to personal health.  Those who are unable to fast from food may choose to fast from a type of food or beverage.  If that is not possible, the person may fast (give up) something else. 

Guide to Fasting

1. Choose what you are fasting from.

2. Spend the time you would normally spend on the choice, including normal prep time, in prayer.

3. When fasting from food, continue to drink plenty of water.

4. When ending the fast, start with lighter foods like fruit and vegetables. 

Prayer Guide for Fasting

1. Ask Holy Spirit to guide you in how to pray.

2. Ask Holy Spirit if there is any sin you need to confess.  Then confess those sins.

3. Pray that God would give Pastor Kevin clarity for whom to ask to be an elder.

4. Pray that God would speak to the heart and mind of those men God wants as elders for 2026.

5. Pray that God would give these potential elders clarity to hear His voice.

6. Pray that God would give these potential elders His wisdom.

7. Pray that God would protect these potential elders and their families.
