Fasting Before the Prayer Experience

We ask everyone to fast (if medically able) from sometime Friday or Saturday morning. Everyone should arrive physically and spiritually hungry. We are providing a Fasting Guide posted here: Fasting Guide. NOTE: The fasting guide describes some types of fasting as no food or drink. We recommend fasting from only food.
