Update: Friday's and Saturday's events have been canceled. See details below. 
OTO_SliderAs a church, we will spend next week praying for, and seeking after, racial reconciliation through the gospel of Jesus. We will have focused prayer and study in our Missional Communities and during our Morning Prayer. For those who are not limited for health reasons, we encourage fasting one meal a day on Monday - Friday, using the time that would have been spent eating in prayer. During the 40 hours of prayer, outlined below, we encourage the church body to do an extended fast from Friday night until Sunday morning, breaking the fast with breakfast before coming to the Sunday Gathering.
