This Sunday in Christ Central Kids we announced the beginning of our "Three Things Fast"! While our congregation began the corporate "5 things Fast", we recognize that the kiddos may not be able to completely participate (they don't do the shopping in their homes and may eat school provided lunches) ... SO we made it very accessible to every kiddo that would like to participate!
From 6pm Jan 4th - 6pm Jan 25th we are abstaining from all Candy, Soda, and deserts (Ice Cream, baked goods, cookies, and processed sweets) We did tell the kids that they could enjoy fruit or something natural if the needed something sweet 😁
On top of that Pastor Christina and I shared with the kiddos to also pray about their usage of games (video / digital), electronics, and media (Youtube, videos, TV, Movies, music) and replace that time with reading the Bible, praying, worshiping Jesus, and even watching videos that help to grow in the Word of God or in their relationship with Christ!
The goal for fasting is to limit the things we "WANT" to seek the things we "NEED", and we all need CHRIST!
By addressing and limiting distractions, seeking the Lord in the times where our flesh is weak and wanting, and spending more time with God and in His Word, we can not only get closer to Him, but also start off 2026 truly putting Him first!
And the truth is, FASTING is not only for adults, but for CHILDREN and every follower of Christ! So encourage your kiddos to JOIN YOU in fasting, to step out, stretch their faith, and grow not only with Christ, but together as a Christ Centered family!
Love yall,
Pastor Dj
