(high school and up) Sunday, June 7 11:15 am | Grace Commons RSVP RSVP by the Friday before Next Steps Statement Of Faith Our Statement of Faith at GCC 1. We believe the sixty-six books of the Bible to be the only inspired, authoritative Word of God, inerrant in the original manuscripts. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21) 2. We believe that there is one God , the Creator, eternally existent in three Persons–Father, Son and Holy Spirit–each having the same essence and attributes. (2 Corinthians 13:14; Matthew 28:19) 3. We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man in indivisible union. We believe in His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary atonement through His shed blood, His death and bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His future bodily return in power and glory. (John 1:1,14; Philippians 2:6-8; 1 Timothy 3:16; Revelation 19:11-16; I Corinthians 15:1-8) 4. We believe the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, regenerates, indwells, baptizes and seals all believers at the moment of their salvation, filling them as they yield to Him with the goal of conforming them to the image of Christ. (Titus 3:5; 1 Corinthians 3:16, 12:13; Ephesians 1:13, 5:18) 5. We believe salvation is a gift of God received through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone and His sacrifice for sin. We believe that a person is justified by grace through faith apart from works and that all true believers have eternal life. Saving faith includes repentance, which is a change of mind about sin and the need for Jesus as Savior. (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:16; I John 5:10-13; Mark 1:15) 6. We believe that the true Church is composed of all such persons who through saving faith in Jesus Christ have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the Body of Christ of which He is the Head. (Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 1:22-23, 2:19-22) 7. We believe that water baptism and *Communion are ordinances to be observed by the Church during the present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means of salvation. (Acts 8:12; 1 Corinthians 11:23-28) 8. We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, of the believer to everlasting glory in heaven with God and the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment in hell apart from God. (2 Thessalonians 1:9; Revelation 22:3-5, 20:15; Daniel 12:2) *Communion is open to all who have trusted Christ as Savior whether members of Grace or not and is observed on the first Sunday of each month. Our Commitment G.R.A.C.E I submit myself to the care and the authority of the biblically qualified elders that God has placed over GCC. In joining with GCC, and walking in dependence upon the Holy Spirit, I will strive to do the following: Proclaim Jesus and Pursue Maturity in Him. Grow Spiritually I will pursue a pattern of progressive transformation into the image of Jesus, understanding that spiritual growth is my personal responsibility. John 15:1-17 | 2 Peter 1:3-11 | Ephesians 4:14-15 Reproduce Intentionally I will see God-given potential in others and use my gifts, experiences, and resources to participate in their spiritual development. 1 Corinthians 11:1 | 1 Thessalonians 5:11-15 | 2 Timothy 2:1-7 Advance the Gospel I will leverage my opportunities to live and proclaim salvation by grace through faith in Christ for the forgiveness of sins. Matthew 28:18-20 |Romans 10:13-15 | 1 Peter 3:13-17 Connect in Worship I will unite with the church body, offering my whole self as an act of submission and commitment to the glory of God. Romans 12:1 | 1 Corinthians 12:21-27 |Hebrew 10:19-25, 13:15-17 Engage in Service I will maintain a servant’s heart as I regularly contribute to the body of Christ in spiritual and practical ways.

Lent Fasting Anthony Ochoa Want to know what the bible says? Download the guide LENT DESCRIPTION Lent is a 40-day season (not counting Sundays) leading up to Easter. It is a time to turn our hearts to God through (1) prayer, (2) repentance, and (3) spiritual renewal. We fast not to earn God's favor, but to remind ourselves that man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. It is an intentional submitting our bodies and souls to God, who alone can satisfy us. START Ash Wednesday (2.18.26) END The Saturday before Easter, Holy Saturday (4.4.26) LENGTH OF LENT 40 total days of fasting 46 calendar days (because Sundays are not fast days) HOW TO FAST (TRADITIONAL PRACTICE) For centuries, Christians have fasted during Lent by limiting their food intake. The most common method today follows this structure: Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are special days of fasting. On only Ash Wednesday and Good Friday: Eat only one full meal for the day. You may also eat two smaller meals that together do not equal a full meal. No snacking between meals. No meat (fish is allowed). All Fridays during Lent are typically days of abstinence from meat, though full meals are allowed. Other weekdays (Mon–Sat): No required fasting, but many choose to limit or sacrifice something else as an act of devotion (caffeine/sugar/soda/processed snacks, social media, screen time, etc.) . Sundays are feast days and are never fast days. If at any point you start to ask, “What if I’m doing it wrong?!” Stop and remember this is about mercy and faith, not legalistic law keeping. For example: if you want to eat meat on Fridays still, that’s okay! Enjoy and pursue hunger for God in accordance with your faith, not what you think you “have to” do. CAN I FAST FROM SOMETHING OTHER THAN FOOD? While food is the traditional fast, some people may need to adjust due to health concerns or may choose to add other disciplines. Again, the call is to discipline ourselves to hunger for God, not to meticulously keep every possible rule. The goal is not to make ourselves miserable but to set ourselves toward crying out to God in an intentional way. HOW CAN I MAKE LENT MORE SIGNIFICANT Lent is not just about fasting—it is about turning to God. Consider adding activities to your routine during this season: Pray (consider using our prayer book Two of More ) Read Scripture (with others at times you usually do not) Write in a Journal (what God is teaching you) Worship (as a family or individually) Serve someone else (look for needs in the community or church)

Our Global Workers Anna and Elliott Mission Focus I am on our Mobilization Team working with young adults pursuing their role in God's global purpose. My role includes meeting and coaching young adults in their best next step in missions, as well as working with our VP over Mobilization and Strategic Partnerships on strategic projects. The balance of relational and administrative work fits well into my giftings. Working in a virtual workplace has its challenges but my church community and local mobilization work helps to overcome those challenges. It is such a blessing to be a part of seeing God's Name proclaimed among the nations. Testimony I grew up going to Grace Community Chapel and was involved in children's ministry and youth group through high school. Grace helped to build a foundation for my faith. However, it wasn't until college that I fully began to take my faith as my own and explore God's global purpose for us. I pursued international ministry opportunities in Honduras, Peru, Dominican Republic, and South Asia. These experiences showed me the true heart of God for His people. He truly desires relationship and love with all peoples. Seeing an area of the world with little to no access to the story of Jesus broke my heart and stirred a desire to play a role in that. I pursued a job as a mobilizer in order to help others pursue these passions and share my experiences with them. I also hope to pursue living overseas in an unreached area in the future, but am following God's leading. Back to Global Workers
