<\/a><\/p>\n This weekend is going to be huge in the life of The Gathering<\/a>.<\/strong> \u00a0We are going to start the weekend with an incredible time of reflection and worship at 7:00 PM Friday, celebrating Communion together<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This has always been very special to our Gathering Family and this year promises to be even better! \u00a0If you have come to trust in Jesus, we invite you to share in this very special Good Friday service as we remember together the sacrifice that was made to purchase our redemption.<\/p>\n Our Good Friday celebration will also kick off a weekend Fast<\/strong>. \u00a0Did that scare you away? \u00a0I hope not as this is going to be an incredible time of focused prayer during the weekend as we remember throughout the day on Saturday what this weekend is really about, plus it will give us an opportunity to be in prayer together about what God is going to do in our worship celebration on Sunday morning. \u00a0I want to encourage you to pray for the many people who will be with us that morning who need to experience Jesus for the very first time. \u00a0I’ll be giving you a guide explaining what a fast is and how to go about it effectively at the service on Friday night.<\/p>\n Then on Sunday morning, we’re going to “Break Fast” together<\/strong> at 9:00 A.M. in the Commons<\/strong> (so bring your favorite breakfast dish), celebrating what God did during the fast and what He’s going to do in worship. \u00a0We’ll also have another opportunity to spend some time in prayer together. \u00a0At 10:45, we’ll have the big celebration. \u00a0Led by one of the best worship bands<\/a> anywhere, we’ll celebrate the risen Lord and then hear what God has to say to us, expecting great things.<\/p>\n
