Greetings everyone. This post is a copy of our plan letter, sent to local preachers and church leaders across the region, highlighting our plans for worship from December to January. We are encouraging prayer and fasting, with a particular focus on midweek worship. I share this mindful that the mnemonic we have produced might be helpful to others. We also include a download which provides some basic teaching on fasting as a spiritual discipline, produced by the Methodist Church.

Important: Please also consider this web article, which notes the importance of fasting as a spiritual discipline but also offers guidance as to when the practice of fasting that is not anchored on seeking God can lead to eating disorders:
