Holy Week Corporate Prayer & Fasting

 Holy Week is a sacred time when we reflect on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. As a church, we set aside this week for focused prayer and fasting—drawing near to God, humbling our hearts, and preparing to celebrate the victory of Easter.

This year, our fasting theme is "Highly Exalted" anchored in Philippians 2:5-11.This Easter we fix our eyes on the paradox of Christ’s kingship. In a world that exalts power, control, and dominance, we behold a King who is highly exalted through humility, suffering, and sacrifice. As we prepare our hearts this Holy Week, let us not merely admire Jesus’ exaltation - let us be transformed by it. May we have the mind of Christ, who did not seek worldly gain or affirmation but humbled Himself, laid down His life, and was lifted high. May we be a people who bear the image of Christ - the suffering servant who came not to be served, but to serve.
