30 hour famine 2006: we fast so others will live

So you decided to fast!!! Sa-weeet

Here is some information for you for the weekend that will be helpful:

HS- 7pm kick-off Friday Night (Remember that your last meal is lunch Friday) :)
MS-Sat- 10:30am kick-off For the spirit: Be in prayer about your time. Fasting is a spiritual discipline and when done right, is to focus our attention and time on God and away from ourselves. This weekend the time that you spend not eating, you will be serving others. Be in prayer about the effects of that service. Be in prayer for those you are helping to feed/ eat with your sponsorship money. Prayer is the most powerful thing you can do.

For the body: Prepare your body for fasting. Eat healthy meals before fasting. What not to do: eat overly greasy or fried foods (sorry KFC, Mickey D’s and Taco Bell L ) . Also, you do not want to over-eat, as you don’t need to. Pastas are good, as well as easily digestible light things like soups, salads, and basic sandwiches – the T-bone steak (maybe not). Drink lot’s of fluids- this is what your body needs. Throughout the famine weekend we will have juice drinks, Gatorade, and lots and lots of H20 for you!!! (mmmmmmm) **NOTE-after the fast continue to go light on the intake!!

For the mind: There will be a good amount of things for you to do this weekend and we will keep you on your toes. If you are in High Schooler staying over Friday night remember to bring the following to stay over:

-Overnight clothes, sleeping bag, toiletries, and clothes for Saturday you can get messy….
