The word fasting means to abstain from something. Most commonly, fasting refers to abstaining from food, but it can include abstaining from other things, as well.

Fasting is mentioned over fifty times throughout the Bible! 

 

From the Green Team:

A few facts about single use plastic bottles:

Less than 10% of plastic actually gets recycled.

90% ends up in landfills and oceans.

They take 450 years to decompose.

Currently, one million bottles are produced per minute.

From the Green Team:

Carbon Fast for Lent -- from St. Stephen's Green Team
As we all know, Lent is the 40-day season of fasting and prayer leading to Easter. Traditionally, we give something up during Lent in order to create new space for God in our lives. The St. Stephen’s Green Team asks St. Stephen’s congregants and friends to consider engaging in a Carbon Fast for Lent – reducing the amount of carbon dioxide we put into the atmosphere – as a way of continuing to develop our abilities to be good stewards of God’s Creation. To sign up for a weekly email giving you ideas for reducing your carbon footprint, please go to this link: https://climatestewardsusa.org/carbon-fast-for-lent/ or you can read more about Carbon Fasting here https://www.ecofaithrecovery.org/carbonfast/  Thank you from the Green Team!
