Fasting Together During Lent | Fellowship Meal
Thursday, April, 10th, 2025, 6:00pm to 7:00pm
Location: Fellowship Hall Lakewood, OH 44107
Lent is the period of forty days leading up to Easter Sunday when Christians throughout history have reflected on the significance of Jesus coming into the world to die for their sin. During Lent it's common for many Christians to fast from food as a way of turning ourselves from worldly things and setting our minds and hearts more fully on God. Fasting has a way of revealing the fleshly desires that drive us and awakening us to our great need for reliance on God. It’s for reasons like this that we’ve set aside four days during Lent to fast together as a church. Some may decide to skip only breakfast or lunch. Whatever you prayerfully decide, we invite you individually to fast during the day, and then bring along dinner for yourself (brown bag it, Panera Bread it, etc.) to the church building and meet in the lower level. During that time we’ll break bread together and then take some time to pray together.
