Join us for fasting and prayer beginning NOW

Beginning today, everyone at First Methodist is invited into a season of prayer and fasting for our church and mission. Go to https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a0d4da4ab2ea2fb6-prayer#/. If you don’t have internet or if the link doesn’t work call the church office to sign up.

Why are we calling folks to fast and pray? Because we want to see God do a new thing among us! We are fasting for our leaders and for our future. We are fasting and praying for a God to bring awakening and spiritual renewal in our beloved church family.

As Jesus said, some things only happen when we fast and pray, so we encourage you to step into this spiritual discipline and let’s watch together for what God will do.
