Join Your Pastors for the Wesley Fast
The fast begins this week, Thursday, February 15, and will continue through Lent.
Typically, the Wesley Fast begins on Thursday after dinner and is broken at 3:00 PM on Friday with a light snack. That said, people often extend the fast to twenty-four hours. Always fast in such a way that it does not compromise your health. If you would like to participate and have health concerns, tailor the fast to your needs. For more information on the Wesley Fast, see the February 7th Thoughts from Your Pastor.
Remember, fasting must forever center on God. We do not fast to lose weight, or to prove to ourselves or others our Christian dedication. We fast because we hunger for God. We are sustained” by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4). Food does not sustain us; Christ sustains us. Therefore, in experiencing fasting we are not so much abstaining from food as we are feasting on the word of God.
Ours is a congregational fast, which brings us together, of one mind and in one Spirit. This week we will pray for the schools represented in our congregation, and for the Thomasville School Board as they search for a new superintendent.
