Observing a Day of Prayer and Fasting — January 23
The Northwestern Minnesota Synod invites congregations and individuals to observe Friday, January 23 as a Day of Prayer and Fasting, grounding ourselves in love of neighbor and a shared longing for peace in our communities.

As part of this day, all are invited to an ecumenical Community Prayer Service at 6:00 p.m. at Bethesda Lutheran Church in Moorhead (401 40th Ave S). Joined by members of several community churches, we will gather in prayer—making space for grief, hope, and prayers for peace and healing in our communities, our state, and our world. The service will also be available via Bethesda’s livestream for those unable to attend in person.

Additional prayer resources and optional online prayer opportunities are shared below for those who wish to participate throughout the day.

These offerings are intended to support reflection, intercession, and trust in God’s presence as we seek peace, compassion, and care for all our neighbors.

  • Morning Prayer Webinar

    An online prayer gathering to begin the day in shared reflection and prayer.

  • Evening Prayer Service
