At the 2026 General Assembly, the Assembly approved a motion to call the churches of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) to a day of prayer and fasting for revival and renewal in the church. Commenting on that decision Moderator Ruling Elder, Mel Duncan, stated it like this: Congregations, ministries, officers, and families should “humble themselves before the Lord, fast, and pray. We are called to heartfelt repentance over the sins of ministers, officers, members, and congregations, and to earnest petition for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the blessing of God upon the preached Word, the conversion of the lost, the planting of faithful churches, and the advance of the gospel in our communities, on college campuses, and throughout the world.”

We have set aside Tuesday, November 3, as Christ Covenant Church’s dedicated day for prayer and fasting. Please give yourself to a focused time of prayer that day. If you are able, you may consider fasting as well as an expression of your hunger for God to act. Our churches and families need renewal. We need to petition the Lord to make our lamp burn bright. From our homes, schools, or places of work lets devote ourselves as one body to calling upon the name of the Lord. The Lord promises that the prayer of a righteous man has great power. (James 5:16)
