This year we are doing it a little different to previous years, we are starting in the churchyard, gathering from 10.45am with the service commencing at 10.55am around the war memorial. Following the act of remembrance we will then process into church for the rest of the service with refreshments at the end. We look forward to seeing you there.

It’s been a while since the Vicar has posted on his Dog Collar Disciple page but here’s a brief reflection from Jonathan on The Fasting Practice.

If my beagles were to engage in spiritual disciplines, I reckon one they’d certainly turn their nose up at would be FASTING. Beagles love food! And mine certainly exercise no restraint whenever there is something to chow down on.

Like my beagles, fasting is something I’ve largely given a miss over the past 22 years of following Jesus. I have fairly regularly practiced abstinence (giving things up for a season) but fasting (depriving the body of food) is one I have only dabbled in sporadically.

Early last year I found myself, on some weeks, taking a day where I would intentionally miss lunch and spend that time praying into three specific things for God to breakthrough. This included: needs of others known to me, family situations and provision in the local church. God in his kindness answered many of these prayers, sometimes quite remarkably.

In recent months I started listening to the Rule of Life podcast from Practicing The Way and specifically the four part season on fasting. This has inspired me to have a go again at fasting and to explore how this could become part of a regular weekly rhythm as I seek to pattern my life more and more on the way of Jesus.

It’s been fascinating to learn that for over a millennium and a half it was normal for Christians to fast two days per week (usually Wednesdays and Fridays) from sunset to sundown. For the majority of Christians in the West, post the Enlightenment, fasting has not played a big part (or any part) in our spiritual rhythms. And yet Jesus fasted and assumed his disciples would…. What might it look like for the church here in the UK to rediscover this ancient spiritual discipline? Might it not only deepen our walk with the Lord individually but also be a catalyst for much needed renewal in the church and revival in the land?

Is the Holy Spirit stirring you to explore this spiritual discipline in your walk with Jesus?

I’m currently facilitating the four week experience ‘The Fasting Practice’ by Practicing The Way. It’s a great way to explore this spiritual discipline and I’m finding much delight and blessing through learning, reflecting and practicing fasting with six of my church family who are hungry for God. It’s well worth checking out.
