- Lent Fasting | GCC
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)

- SUNDAY DISCIPLESHIP | GCC
Clusters Clusters Sunday and Midweek Adult Discipleship Opportunities What is a Cluster? This opportunity will feature a new approach to adult discipleship engagement under the broader title of clusters. By basic definition, clusters involve smaller collections of people (approximately 12) that gather in the interests of advancing personal growth and reproductive discipleship influence. Weekly cluster gatherings generally feature homework assignments, and they prioritize interactive engagement during scheduled meetings. The weekly homework assignments will require a completion time of approximately one hour. Feel free to contact the church office if you have questions. Advancing the Kingdom A Collaborative Journey of Knowing, Growing, and Going The Advancing the Kingdom clusters will include three distinct participation opportunities, with two of these options occurring on Sunday morning during the second or third hour, and the other option occurring on Tuesday evening (women only). Specific times are identified below. All of these clusters will utilize the Rose Guide to Discipleship as the core curriculum. A key structural goal within the Advancing the Kingdom clusters includes mixing individuals who are less seasoned in their faith with those who are further along in their faith journey. In both cases, the idea of learning with the intention to reproduce will include a primary point of emphasis. Those interested in participating in one of the Advancing the Kingdom clusters will incur a $20 expense* (scholarships available as needed) to cover costs associated with full color copies, a binder, and a book that will be utilized to address issues of Christian identity. *Payment can be made electronically at the time of registration or via cash/personal check at the first cluster session. Two copies of the Rose Guide to Discipleship are available at Grace Central and can be reviewed as desired before making a decision about registering for this cluster. SUNDAY (September 7-May 31): Facilitators: James and Missy Jolliff Time: 9:45 – 11:00 AM Location: Room 109 Facilitator: Ken Johnson Time: 11:00 AM – 12:15 PM Location: Room 109 MIDWEEK: Facilitators: Kristi Grimes and Jennifer Hill Tuesdays: 6:30 - 7:45 PM Dates: September 16-May 5 Location: Room 102 Women Only! Classes Ongoing Opportuniites Classes Sunday Morning Adult Discipleship Opportunities The following Sunday Adult Class will encompass the full ministry year. Formal registration for this class has closed; feel free to contact the church office if you have questions. Exploring the Old Testament A Journey of Information and Inspiration September 7, 2025 – May 31, 2026 This class will include three unique parts. In Part One, we gain an understanding of how the 66 books of the Bible came to be. In Part Two, we turn our attention to the Old Testament and begin by constructing a free-hand map of Israel and answer the questions: 1) Where did important events occur? 2) Why did various empires desire to gain control of this area? and 3) Why did God choose this tiny land bridge of geography to bring glory to Himself? In Part Three, we engage in a synopsis of each Old Testament book through exploring key elements such as characters, themes, and important historical details. Through it all, we will discover that God is not full of anger, wrath, and judgment, but rather faithfulness, patience, and love. *A book by the title of Introducing the Old Testament is highly recommended as a supplement to classroom instruction. This book can be purchased on Amazon at a cost of $10.92. Teachers: Dan Cheek, Stephen Smith, and Jerome Hall Time: 9:50 – 10:50 AM Location: Adult Central The following Sunday discipleship opportunities are offered continuously and require no registration. You are welcome to join them at any time. 8:30 am Young and Growing Families The Young & Growing Families class offers an adult discussion-based arrangement that is designed to mirror the Gospel Project curriculum being taught on Sunday mornings within GraceKids Sunday School.

Adult Discipleship Grace Discipleship Network ...that we may present everyone mature in Christ…rooted and built up in him and established in the faith... Colossians 1:28 & 2:7 At Grace Community Chapel, it is our conviction that discipleship engagement is essential to achieving a growing relationship with Jesus. With this in mind, we offer a network of independent and mutually reinforcing discipleship opportunities that are specifically dedicated to advancing spiritual growth in the context of church community and individual commitment. The Pathways Celebrations Sunday Morning Corporate Worship Celebrations include our Sunday morning corporate worship services. These services, which offer elements of both traditional and contemporary worship experiences, are primarily devoted to congregational singing and the expository teaching of God’s Word. SERVICE TIMES Classes Sunday Morning Adult Discipleship Opportunities Classes are identified by traditional Sunday morning arrangements that are generally larger in size and offer instruction and interaction specific to the Bible and other key topics of spiritual interest. CURRENT OFFERINGS Clusters Sunday and Midweek Adult Discipleship Opportunities As a hybrid of traditional Classes and Communities (small groups), Clusters offer a unique approach to intentional discipleship in which smaller collections of people (generally a maximum of 12-14) gather under a time-limited arrangement of 12-36 weeks depending on the focus of a particular Cluster. Clusters involve an interactive environment that typically requires some out-of-session assignments and a deeper level of engagement. The primary goals of Clusters include promoting personal and collective spiritual growth and equipping that is aimed at advancing discipleship influence. CURRENT OFFERINGS Collectives Midweek Adult Discipleship Opportunities Collectives, as defined by “a cooperative enterprise” (Oxford Dictionary) involve a group of people meeting together in the interests of a unified purpose. Collectives include midweek ministries of various sizes that involve individuals engaging in Bible or topical studies via live instruction or video, prayer and fellowship with the goal of advancing biblical application through individual and “collective” spiritual growth. SEE WHAT'S AVAILABLE Communities Small Group Adult Discipleship Opportunities Communities, which are otherwise known as small groups, represent more of the relational end of our adult discipleship ministry. Communities focus on some key areas such as study, prayer and fellowship, with an important component including the manner in which individuals engage in life together and care well for one another.
