Join us for our Fall Prayer and Fasting. We want to stand in unity and cover our church body, students and the city of Carbondale by having a designated week of intentionally seeking the Kingdom of Jesus through prayer & fasting.

Some Tips for your Fasting:

• Drink plenty of water.

• Take the extra time that you would be eating to commune with God as you read His Word and pray.

• If you experience headaches, it is a sign that your body is detoxing certain elements- they will pass and you will begin to feel more energetic and clear-minded.

• The devil and your flesh will try to tempt you to break the fast before the committed time. Be accountable. Call a friend for prayer and encouragement to stay the course.

• It is wise to abstain from strong stimulants such as caffeinated and sugary drinks during a fast.

• Minors (under 13 years old) who desire to fast are encouraged to consider non-food abstentions, such as TV, movies, Internet surfing, video games and other entertainment.

• We recommend that older children who choose to fast from food do so under their parents’ supervision.

• Break your fast gradually, on a meal that is light and easy to digest (i.e., grapes, a shredded apple, watermelon, or steamed vegetables).

• Get a good night’s rest. Take power naps when needed.

• Don’t make a big deal before others. (Matt. 6:16)

• Abstain from rigorous physical activities.

• Don’t watch the food network.
