Fasting

Everybody is encouraged to abstain from eating all day and to break their fast with ONE meal each day, i.e. pick a meal you will be having daily and stay with the cycle. We suggest that this not be the evening meal.

Spend a lot of time in Praying in the Spirit

Drink a lot of water – keep the plumbing going.

Take time off work – invest in your future by seeking God.

Communion

To be served daily.
