As you know, students have already been collecting money for the Famine and the excitement is spreading! We are trying to spread the word on the details of the actual Famine to the parents as much as possible. The fasting begins at 1:00pm on Friday, April 23rd. It is recommended that participants eat complex carbohydrates like oatmeal or pasta before the fasting begins, because these types of foods stay with you the longest. All of the participants will meet up at church at 7:00pm that evening for a lock-in in order for us to experience the Famine together. Students should bring a pillow, sleeping bag, toiletries, and a change of clothes (there will be no opportunities for us to take showers). A journal and pen may also be helpful for them to record their experience. The fasting will continue through Saturday and end at 7:00pm when we will “break-the-fast” together in a meaningful way. Parents can pick up their teens at the church by 8:30pm Saturday night. It is also not too late for a student to sign up! They can just sign up, pick up a packet from the Rafters, and start raising money.
