February Fast on Food Crisis

  Join Presbyterians and others around the country and across the world, in this church-wide fast on the global food crisis. Materials are available for the February (Jan. 30-Feb. 1) fast. The focus for February is Food Demand and the featured country is India. Fasting is a spiritual practice that can take us on a faithful journey that may change us for good. Fasting allows us to focus our attention on God. We may fast from food or from some other aspect of our life in order focus our attention on God and remind ourselves of our dependence of God. The monthly fasts typically begin after a Friday evening meal and end with Communion on Sunday – about 40 hours. Participants should feel free to use the resources and adapt the schedule in ways that fit their needs and situation.
