Awakening for Creek Kids

What better way to begin a new year than to begin with prayer and fasting. Pastor Marty has invited each of us to participate along side of him, the staff, and leadership of Stevens Creek in a 21 day season of prayer and fasting, called Awakening. During this time we have set aside time to focus our energy as a church body toward seeking God and positioning our church and leadership for maximum effectiveness. Awakening is not just a a seasonal campaign, Awakening is about establishing a culture of prayer, fasting and personal devotion within our church and within our lives.

One of the best ways to teach our children, is to simply model the behavior we desire to see in them. Over the next 21 days we have a great opportunity to model and teach our kids about fasting and prayer. So over the next few weeks during Creek Kids, we will break fasting and prayer down to a level that the kids will understand and encourage them to put it into practice.

We have provided an Awakening calendar designed with your child in mind. It contains a daily Bible reading and items they can fast on that day. This is a great way for them to learn about fasting and as they continue to do this you will be helping them cultivate a lifestyle of fasting and personal devotion in their own lives.

Also, check out this informational video for parents and families on fasting by John Wyatt, the Family Life Pastor of Celebration Church.

The calendar and video will be posted on the Creek Kids Facebook page as well.
