Fasting is enhanced by the giving to the poor. . John Wesley said to celebrate the Lord's Supper as often as possible. It is a powerful way to realize the cleansing of Christ and an encouragement to live a better life. Opportunities for the celebration of communion should increase. .

When these are in place then there will be a better chance that the pastor and people will be sensitive to the voice of God and follow his directions as the church moves out into its community.
