Practices: Fasting

January 18, 2012 // No Comments »

This Sunday, we will once again talk about spiritual practices that help us pay attention to God’s activity both within us and around us.

We’ll begin with a time to share our experiences of reflecting on God’s work in the last year. Specifically, we’ll talk through the questions we introduced in November:

• What have been the high points this year?
• What have been the difficult times this year?
• How have you grown this year?
• In what ways have you not grown this year? Or even gone backward?
• Where have you seen God at work this year?
• If you project this year forward, who will you be in five years?
• Who do you want to be in five years?

After that discussion, we’ll introduce a new practice to explore in the month to come: Fasting. Fasting is one of the most tangible of the spiritual practices, meaning it can be among the most challenging and rewarding at the same time.
