Rev. Emmanuel and Leonia United Methodist Church believe in the importance of praying and fasting. This is why we will do so from January 27 until February 2.
Praying and fasting is a necessary discipline for all Christians. We see this practice throughout scripture from the book of Ester and Daniel. In the New Testament, Jesus speaks about it in Matthew chapter 6, verses 16 through 18, and Matthew chapter 17, verse 21.
Fasting and prayer can express repentance, seek direction from God, or grow deeper in our relationship with our Lord and Savior. Some may not be able to fast food, but you may fast technology, entertainment, or Social media. Whatever the Lord leads you to do, it is essential to separate time with God. This is why Pastor Emmanuel has designed different times when the church will be open to come together. We hope all will take advantage of this time.
Below is a list of when the church will be open. We hope you mark your calendar to attend this time as we seek God’s face together in these days that we live.
