Day of Corporate Prayer and Fasting for Our Nation

Wednesday, October 30
6:00 pm

Short North Building | 345 E. 2nd Ave.

As Christians, we are called to walk a third way, the way of Jesus, which is neither Democrat nor Republican (nor centrist, for that matter), as we radically engage in the political environment we live in. As a church, we are setting aside a specific day of fasting and prayer for God’s will to be done in our country, appealing to His wisdom and justice to prevail in our hearts and in our elected leaders. Let us commit to fasting collectively as a body, to the extent that you are able, culminating in corporate prayer together at the church.
