Why Fast during Lent?, Serve Thy Neighbor, Membership Record (Pastoral Emphasis for 2/26)

We are now in Lent which started on Ash Wednesday and will end on Easter. Why do we fast during Lent? Fasting is a very helpful way to reduce distractions, focus on God, and cultivate a sense of dependence on Him. When giving up certain foods or drinks, fasting is a way of sacrificing physical nourishment to seek spiritual nourishment. It is also good to give up things or activities that might be feed our sinful desires. So I pray that our fasting and praying during Lent this year will remind us that we need God and we will draw closer to Him.

Don't forget to sign-up for Project: Serve Thy Neighbor. Let's sacrifice of our time to serve our neighbors with the love of Christ.
