Join Faithful Central Bible Church this Thanksgiving holiday for a rededication fast. The prayer and worship service will be this Sunday, November 24th at 5:00pm.

The purpose of this 72 hour fast is to focus your hunger towards God in preparation to rededicate your heart to celebrate the great things He has done.

Starting Sunday, November 24th through Wednesday, November 27th, fasting participants may have one meal a day, salads only.

Thursday, November 28th, there will be a rededication service at the tabernacle beginning at 9:00am.

Fasting Scriptures:

Matthew 6:16

Moreover when you fast, be not as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

Esther 4:16

Go gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat not drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.

Ezra 8:21-23

Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him right away for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance. For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, “The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.” So we fasted and besought our God for this; and he was intreated of us.
