Fast from being closed: This one might take a little description. Sometimes in our life, we have a profound experience, but then we forget, time passes, and we move on. This was not the case for the woman at the well. When she encountered Jesus, not only was that a life-changing experience, but she went out and shared it with her whole village. This week, when we encounter God, let's not keep it to ourselves, let's not be closed off, but we too can go out and change the world around us.

Fast from Fear: In Lent we are called out into the desert, called to the mountain top, called away from it all, to be with God. This can be intimidating; we wonder what will happen, and how we will react. We are faced with another challenge when we go to be with God - we leave distractions behind. And when we leave them behind we are faced with ourselves....who we really are. This week, join God on the mountain top, and do not be afraid, but let God tell you who you really are to him.
