Rooted Participants,

Our Prayer Experience will take place on February 15th from 8:45 am to 12:00 noon in the Pantano Student Union. This page explains what to expect and how to prepare for this experience.

Please use this link to RSVP to the Prayer Experience. Everyone must RSVP to the event so that we can plan for enough food, and plan for childcare.

Please bring the following to the Prayer Experience:

• Paper Bible

• We will be reading scripture, it’s good to remember what reading a paper Bible is like.

• Ink Pen to Record Journal Notes

• We will provide a Prayer Experience Journal (Prayer Experience Journal PDF Link) (Descargar en español) This journal guides the experience, and provides a place to take notes during the experience. We will have paper copies of the Journal ready for you.

Fasting Before the Prayer Experience

We ask everyone to fast (if medically able) from sometime Friday or Saturday morning, until we break our fast together at the prayer experience. 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. Participants should still drink water - especially those that live in a desert.

Everyone should arrive at 8:45am to find their assigned table. The event will begin at 9:00am.
