10 Days of Prayer and Fasting - 19th November to 29th November

As a Network, we spend time leading up to Advent in an attitude of Prayer and Fasting for 10 days.  This year between Wednesday 19th November and Saturday 29th November.
 
The suggested fast is the Daniel Fast (Daniel 1 v 12-16 & Daniel 10 v 3).  It involved abstaining from specific foods like meat, dairy, and alcohol to focus on prayer and spiritual growth. 
The fast includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and water but excludes processed foods, sugar, caffeine, and alcohol.
 
If your health precludes this, we suggest you give up things like chocolate, social media, TV etc to give space and restraint to allow time to focus on God in a different way to normal living.
 
On Wednesday 19th November, we start with a half night of Worship and Prayer in Christ Church from 7pm to Midnight.
 
During the 10 days, it would be good if congregations could organise corporate prayer as you see fit.
 
The night of the 28th/29th November, we have an All-Night Prayer time from 7pm to 7am.  Members/Leaders will each lead an hour through the night on different topics. 
The final hour will end with a Communion Service.
