During Lent, you’re invited to fast with others from Blacknall every Monday beginning Feb. 23. This weekly rhythm is meant to provide more opportunities for us to pray together.

Each fast day will begin with in-person prayer at Blacknall from 6:45 - 7:15 a.m. in room 404, with the fast lasting until sundown. If you can safely extend that time, you are welcome to go longer each Monday.
If you can’t make it to the church for morning prayer, you can join on Zoom.
Or, if mornings don’t work for your schedule, consider gathering with a friend or group of friends to pray sometime during the day — praying during a normal mealtime is a good place to start.

Why fast?

As we pray together for the life and mission of Blacknall, we enter this season of fasting and prayer expectantly, eager to hear and share what God is saying to us. Throughout the church’s history, fasting has been an important spiritual discipline. When led by the Holy Spirit, it can lead to spiritual growth, answers to prayer, spiritual breakthroughs, and a deeper relationship with God.
