Holy Week Corporate Prayer & Fasting

 Holy Week is a sacred time when we reflect on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. As a church, we set aside this week for focused prayer and fasting—drawing near to God, humbling our hearts, and preparing to celebrate the victory of Easter.

This year, our fasting theme is "The Reality of the Resurrection," anchored in Luke 24. Just as Jesus’ followers moved from doubt to faith when they encountered the risen Christ, we, too, seek to experience the power of His resurrection in our lives. Through fasting and prayer, we open our hearts to deeper revelation, renewed faith, and the transforming presence of our living Savior.
