Two Weeks of Prayer & Fasting

With each new calendar year comes the opportunity for reflection and renewed commitment. Each January, Glencairn encourages all who are able to participate in a church-wide two weeks of prayer and fasting. Come along, expecting God to meet us as we seek his face!

January 14–28, 2024

As we start the year with two weeks of fasting and prayer, we invite you to participate in the following ways:

  1. Consider fasting for a period of time, whether from food, media, shopping, video games, or other habits, for the purpose of increasing our craving for God
  2. Get your Prayer and Fasting Guide or check it out on the prayer section of the Glencairn Church mobile app
  3. Pray with others on Sunday mornings from 9–10am at the church throughout the year
  4. Drop by the (P.R.A.Y.) prayer room in the Country Hills room at the church and spend as little or as much time in prayer as you need (see more details below)
  5. Come for an evening of prayer and worship through music on Saturday, January 27, from 7–8:30pm to wrap up our two-week focus on prayer and fasting. All ages are welcome!

(P.R.A.Y.) Prayer Room

Our prayer team has created an immersive, interactive, self-guided prayer room as part of our two-week focus on prayer and fasting.

(P.R.A.Y.) Prayer Room Hours
Come & Pray in the Country Hills room, January 14–28

Before or after the church service on Sunday
Sunday afternoons: 1–3pm
Monday through Saturday: 7–9pm

If you’re participating in a program that meets throughout the week, feel free to drop by the Country Hills room during that time as well.

Come with your family, as a Life Group, with a friend, or on your own. This year’s prayer room will complement the sermon series in January to Pray the Psalms.

This prayer experience is meant for you to walk through at your own pace. Take a few minutes or an hour. Come once or many times over these two weeks. The room will lead you through four themes: P – pause & praise, R – reflect & repent, A – ask & anticipate, Y – yield. We’ll have accompanying music that you are welcome to listen to on your device while in the room (please bring earbuds or headphones) or at home, and we encourage you to contribute a piece in Glencairn’s version of the Book of Psalms. QR codes are available in the room or you can click on the following links for the playlist: Spotify Playlist: P R A Y | YouTube: P R A Y.

Pastor Connie explains a little more about the significance of Prayer & Fasting in this two-part mini-video series from 2022 and challenges us to make a personal commitment in these coming two weeks
