I became convinced there is real power in fasting together as a church family. When I found the devotional for Awakening (there is a link off our website) I decided to share it too. I wondered how many people would participate. I have been part of "churchwide fasts" before where a few people participated, and everyone else was willing to let them do it if they wanted to but there was not a sense of the church fasting together.

     When we copied the devotionals I figured 25 should cover us. If we had that many of us fasting together I thought it would be pretty good. In the Adonai service 60% of the people there committed to the fast. I made a few more copies of the devotional for the Celebrate! service.

     I am thrilled to announce that 54! people have joined together for Trinity's Awakening 21 day fast. If you did not sign up but plan on joining us, email me jay@yourtrinity.com I want to be able to pray for you as we fast together.

     Today after church someone said to me. You're going to have to pray for me. I need strength. I have never done this before. I am willing but I don't know if I can do it. So tonight pray for those who wonder if it will work out for them or not. I think we all feel a little anxious.

     This morning I saw people who love God that are willing out of love to try something new. God accepts and honors that effort. I am beginning my fast today and am thrilled to have you join me. Let's see what God will do!
