For the Season of Advent, the Devoted Disciples (Youth Ministry) read Isaiah 9:2, 6-7 and lit the first candle which symbolizes Hope. The prophets, like Isaiah, prophesied the birth of Christ. This candle represents the hope and expectation felt in anticipation of the coming Messiah. Likewise, we have hope because we are anticipating the return of the Messiah.
Starting tomorrow (Monday), we're having a church-wide 5 days of prayer and fasting. Each day, we'll be fasting from particular items, reading and meditating on the indicated Scripture, and spending time in prayer.
Fasting is not way to manipulate God into doing something for you. Fasting is a spiritual discipline where you deny your flesh something it desires so that you can declare your dependence on God. Fasting helps to remind us that we need God far more than we even need food or anything else.
We will conclude our time of prayer and fasting with a Prayer Rally on Friday, 12/6, starting at 7 pm. We'll be singing hymns, reading Scripture, sharing testimonies, and crying out to God!
Happy Birthday to our oldest member, Sis. Lois Arrington who will celebrate her 94th birthday on tomorrow (Monday)!
