This weekend we are kicking things off! On Friday from 7 pm to 9 pm, and Saturday, from 9 am to 12 noon, we will go through the Healing on the Streets training together. At noon we’ll break for lunch, and then at 1 pm to 3pm, we are heading down to the Ithaca Commons to pray for healing!

So, I thought I’d take a few minutes, explain why were doing this, & then give a bit more information on what fasting involves.
