SEASON OF TRANSITION
Beginning March 7, we, the leaders of Glenwood Church of Christ, invite every one of us to participate in 40 days of Prayer and Fasting. We find ourselves in a Season of Transition where we are about to enter a process to discern the Vision that God has for this church. In addition, we need God’s guidance as we begin the search process for the ministers we need to help us carry out that Vision.
Why engage in a time of Prayer and Fasting? Prayer and fasting are valuable spiritual disciplines that God uses to change us, to renew us, and to teach us so that we experience His transforming power. In prayer we empty ourselves of our pride, our busyness and our self-reliance to seek God’s will and His guidance. In fasting, we deny ourselves of food to express our reliance upon God alone, asking Him to fill us with His all-powerful Spirit. We pray that this process will glorify God and we earnestly seek our Father in hopes that He will change us and prepare us for useful service in His kingdom. (more…)
