As we come out of a season of celebrating God’s
work through GCC’s past, we want to join together in prayer and fasting for our
future. We want to seek this as a body and invite each of you to join our
elders. For 21 days, we will pray and fast as we practice daily stillness,
silence, and Scripture reading along with a weekly Sabbath practice
Goals/Desired Outcomes
Choosing A Fast
There are different kinds of fasts, all with a similar purpose – to draw closer to God and become more attuned to his presence and nearness. To make this time more meaningful and spiritually significant, ask God to lead you to the way in which he is inviting you to fast in keeping with your physical limitations. Here are three of the more common types of fasts:
