Prayers: 30 Hour Famine

As I wrote about in an earlier post, our parish is participating in the 30 Hour Famine this weekend. We have a fantastic group signed up to participate--over twice as big as last year's group! This is partially due to last year's participants (who made it clear how much fun they had) and partially due to youth who have invited their friends (proving that yes, Lutherans can invite someone to church).

We also have an excellent team of adult volunteers, some to stay overnight and many more who are coming to help us out on Saturday and on Sunday morning. We have had plenty of support from all four congregations in our parish, and we especially appreciate all those who are praying for us, and who will continue to pray for us through this weekend! Your prayers are what make the difference between a good event and a fantastic faith-building experience.

So, as you enjoy your breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday, spare a thought and a prayer for those of us who are fasting, as we will also be giving thanks for you!
