Week of Prayer and Fasting

Joel 2:12-13 -- “Yet even now,” declares the Lord,  “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; and rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the Lord your God,  for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love.

During the first week of Lent, February 20-24, we want to respond as a church to the heart of God through prayer, worship, repentance, and consecration. Please join us in the following ways:

1. Download or pick up a bookmark with daily guided prayer points to engage with throughout the week as an individual, family, community group or discipleship group. The QR code on the bookmark will offer other resources to engage with as you're able.
2. Join us for the Ash Wednesday service. This service will be filled with worship, prayer, a vision for Ash Wednesday and lent and the imposition of ashes.
3. Join us at Frontline South or in Norman at the BCM for noon day prayer and worship on Thursday, February 23, from noon to 1pm.
4. Consider various forms of fasting during this week or throughout the season of Lent to prepare your heart for Easter. Download the Week of Prayer and Fasting Guide

Our daily prayers will be marked by the Lord’s Prayer from Matthew 6 and a Psalm meditation. Engage these prayers individually and on behalf of the church.
