Bible Study: Lent: Preparing for Easter with 40 Days of Prayer and Fasting
For: Anyone
Facilitator: Alex Birch
Contact: Email a.birch31@gmail.com, Phone # 403-848-2574
Location: TBA (dependent on number of participants)
Time: March 5 - April 17, Fridays 7:30-8:30pm (first one March 7, last one Good Friday April 18)
Description:
We will meet once a week over the course of the 40 days of Lent to pray together - for each other and the Church, as well as other various weekly themes of prayer - and to encourage each other in fasting, daily prayer, and cultivating an attitude of humble self-reflection and repentance. Together we will seek the Holy Spirit to conform us to the likeness of Christ a little more every day as we prepare for, and look forward to, the great celebration of Easter: the resurrection of our Lord and saviour.
Fasting: Fasting will not be required for participation, but it will be strongly encouraged. It is a powerful spiritual discipline that Jesus seems to expect his followers will do (Matt 9:15, Luke 5:35, Mark 2:20), and even gives guidelines for how it should be done (Matt 6:16-17). Fasting can be abstaining from any number of things; food/drink you're in the habit of having, social media, electronics.
Prayer: We will be encouraging each other in building a habit of setting aside daily time to spend in dedicated prayer. The amount of time and when will be up to the participants.
