Today officially kicks off our week of prayer and fasting as we seek God for revival – the awakening of his church, the gospel to go out and the lost saved! We had a stirring message from Simon Guillebaud this morning and we are looking forward to our first ‘Revival Prayer’ meeting this evening, 6pm at Ascension Church. Come ready to worship, practice spiritual gifts and pray.
Why not commit to fasting and praying this week. We have arranged for a range of gathering points throughout 17th-23rd September to join with others to pray.

How to Fast
The discipline of fasting can focus our prayers in the way that a magnifying glass can focus sunlight to start a fire
Pete Greig
Fasting is an opportunity to lay down an appetite – an appetite for food, for media, for shopping etc. Consider what you might be able to give up for a day or the whole week to help focus your dependance upon and pursuit of God.
