Local Missions Day of Prayer and Fasting

Thursday, April 25 | 11:45 AM – 10:00 PM | Guthrie-Bryant Chapel

Join us in a day of prayer and fasting for Local Missions on Thursday, April 25. This is an opportunity to gather in the presence of the Lord to offer praise and petition for His ongoing work in restoring and renewing our city in and through our Local Mission Partners. The Guthrie-Bryant Chapel will be open from 11:45 AM to 1:00 PM for a come-and-go prayer session at FPC. Prayer guides will be available for those attending in person or praying remotely. For more details, please reach out to Lindsay Sell at lindsays@fpcsat.org. Let us unite in prayer for the advancement of God’s mission in our community.

If you are unable to refrain from food we invite you to fast from something you regularly hunger for (media, news, coffee…) as we prayerfully prioritize hungering for Christ and His kingdom through a day of prayer and fasting.

FPC seeks to join the early church in fasting and praying for mission (Acts 13:23) as we worship the Lord through prayer and fasting (Luke 2:37) and seek His will for our participation in the redemptive restoration of our neighborhoods and the nations (As Nehemiah in 1:3-4 and Ezra 9:4-5).

For more information email Lindsay Selli at lindsays@fpcsat.org.
