Fresh Start – 7 Day Fast
The Park Church’s 7-Day Church-Wide Fast is focused on the theme “Fresh Start: Engage!” This fast emphasizes the importance of being fully engaged in God’s work, which equips the church to serve effectively. The fast includes both food and technology fasting, encouraging participants to meditate on God’s Word and key Biblical principles.
Each day of the fast features specific themes such as examining God’s purpose, employing prayer, establishing a spiritual rhythm, escaping competition, eliminating comparison, evolving in patience, and embracing community. Participants are guided through daily Scripture readings, reflection prompts, and journal exercises, all aimed at deepening their spiritual connection and commitment to service.
The fast also includes instructions on preparing for fasting, explanations of different types of fasts (like the Daniel Fast and technology fast), and a focus on the spiritual benefits of combining fasting with prayer. The church encourages members to continue practicing these Biblical principles even after the fast concludes, fostering ongoing spiritual growth and effective service.
