You are invited to a day of fasting and prayer for the needs of our Woodside family, our country, and the world.
A fast is an expression of faith through an act of self-denial to intentionally cry out to God in prayer. You may choose to abstain (for a day or a period) from food, desserts, media, shopping, or other comforts.
Please consider this invitation to fast and pray on Wednesday, January 29 in whatever way has meaning for you. If you wish to gather at the church in small groups or on your own, the Worship Centre will be available from 8:30am-4:00pm for your use.
