CHCWKND is May 16-18, 2025!

CHCWKND is a time to come together as a family, a church family, a district and a world-wide movement to pray. This is a weekend set aside for a time of dedicated prayer and fasting for the Congregational Holiness Church. When the church gathered to pray in the Bible, God moved in mighty ways to lead the Church. Put it on your calendars now, and invite your friends and family to join in.

In Joel 1:14, the Lord directs Joel to proclaim a fast and call for the leaders and people to gather in the house of the Lord to pray to the Lord. The situation Israel found itself in was one of dire need, with the land and the people drifting away from God. But if the people gathered to pray and to fast, the Lord will be jealous for His land and have pity and answer His people. (2:18-19)

God is calling us to do the same. Our people, churches, and nations face many trials, temptations, and a lack of concern for God’s leadership. It is time to gather to pray and fast. This year, the CHC will come together to choose leadership and set the course for the next several years to come. We will not pray for only ourselves but will also use this time to effect change throughout our nation by praying, fasting, and seeking God. This time is about God and our opportunity to serve Him together.

Friday, May 16 Day of Individual Fasting and Prayer
Saturday, May 17 Local Church Prayer Service 7-8 pm
Sunday, May 18 District Prayer Service (Locations set by each district) 6 pm

Friday, May 16, is set aside as the CHC Day of Fasting. I ask that you spend that day or some portion of that day in prayer and fasting individually. On Saturday, May 17, we are asking that every local CH Church open for a time of prayer from 7-8 pm. On Sunday, May 18, at 6 pm we all come together for a solemn assembly by joining together at each of our District Tabernacles (or other District Locations set by the District Superintendent) to spend time in prayer. We are coming together to be obedient to God and to intercede for our nation, fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, and for one another, trusting that God will accomplish what He desires from this time of prayer and fasting.

Prayer Focus

This year’s prayer focus is based on the phrase PRAY FOR. We are directed by scripture on how and who we should pray for. Utilizing several Pray For scriptures as the direction during all our prayer times over the WKND of Prayer and Fasting. Some additional prayer points are added as a guide, however, the final guide in our prayer time is the Holy Spirit. I encourage each person, church, and district to be sensitive to the working of the Holy Spirit during our prayer time. Prayer always makes a difference and as we pray God moves and things on earth are set in order. Who or what will you PRAY FOR?
