April 27-May 18
In January 2024, we called the church to 21 days of prayer and fasting. As we prepared to take a major step in the expansion of our church home, we paused together to confess our dependence on the Lord and ask for his guidance.
We saw the Lord work during that season of prayer and fasting, answering our prayers for guidance and direction. Many conversations that took place during that time have led us to the place we’re at today. Now, as we prayerfully pursue moving to a new location, we are just as dependent on God for his wisdom, provision, and blessing. We desire for Providence to be a healthy, growing hub where disciples are made, grow in maturity, and are sent out. This will only happen by the power of the Spirit.
Knowing this is true, we invite you to join us once again in confessing our dependence. On April 27, we will enter 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, which will lead up to our 20th Anniversary on Sunday, May 18. We’re setting aside this season to pray together, thanking God for his faithfulness over the past 20 years and asking him for wisdom and direction for the days ahead. Let’s boldly pray, “Your kingdom come, your will be done” — in our hearts and in our church.
How It Works
Beginning April 27th, we’re praying and fasting together using a special guide that will be available in the Providence Church Mobile App. During these 21 days, set aside something in your life, and use that time to focus on prayer.
Each day in the prayer prompts, you’ll discover a Bible verse or passage to meditate on, an explanation of the daily focus, and prayer points to guide you throughout the day. Each daily prompt is designed to work alongside your normal quiet time and address a specific aspect of the Entrusted & Sent vision.
As you’re praying, we also encourage you to invite your Community Group, Huddle, or a group of friends within the church to join you. It’s also a great idea to fast in some way. You can fast by abstaining from a daily meal, social media, or anything that may be a distraction in this season. Here’s a look at our prayer schedule:
