Isaiah 58:6
“Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?”
We are going to start 2017 off like we do every year, with a time of prayer and fasting. This time of prayer and fasting is to prepare our hearts and the spiritual atmosphere for the great things He is going to do this year. As we head into this time of prayer and fasting we ask that you seek God on how He wants you to be involved. Below are several suggestions of things you may consider giving up during this time as well as specific things we will be praying for together.
Prayer and fasting starts January 8th and will conclude on the 28th. For a detailed prayer card please stop by the information table at one of our celebration services. If you are unable to stop by and pick up a prayer card please email us at info@canvassd.com and we will mail you a packet.

Saturday nights 6pm – 7pm at the church offices (unless otherwise noted)
Sunday mornings 9:30am – 9:40am in Theater 11 at our Mira Mesa Edwards Theaters
