In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), Fast Sunday is a Sunday (usually the first Sunday of every month) set aside for fasting. == Overview == On Fast Sunday, church members are encouraged to fast for two consecutive meals; most members of the church choose to skip the first two meals on Sunday, though some skip the last meal on Saturday and the first meal on Sunday. Members are also encouraged to give the money they save by not eating as a fast offering which will be used by the church to help those in need. On Fast Sunday, the regular sacrament meeting is known as fast and testimony meeting, where rather than predetermined speakers on particular subjects, the members are given the chance to voluntarily bear testimony to one another of gospel truths. Non-members of the church are welcome to participate in Fast Sunday activities. In some circumstances the week of Fast Sunday may be adjusted. This occurs in April and October when the church's general conferences are held on the first Sunday of the month, and may also adjust due to stake conferences or temple dedications. In addition to the regular fast Sunday, individuals, wards or stakes may have additional fasts for special needs such as moisture for farmers, health for individuals, employment, missionary and temple work. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fast Sunday」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
