B1 Fasting

The Oklahoma Conference has been chosen as one of the jurisdictional conference sites (for 2009) to pilot the "B1 fasting" program that is sponsored by General Board of Global Ministries.

If you have participated in the 30-hour famine before, this program is similar and is the response of the United Methodist Church to the 30-hour famine. This resource may be used by youth in their Sunday school classes, bible study groups or other youth ministry groups.

If you are interest contact Rev. Diana Northcutt: dnorthcutt@okumc.org.

We would like to keep a record of our churches that participate. More resources (t-shirts and curriculum may be purchased from the Cokesbury Web site.
