LEARN THE WAY
"Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace." - Matthew 11:29-30 (MSG)
Practicing The Way will help you establish a new lifestyle as a follower of Jesus. This program will guide you in making space in your life to be with Jesus, become like Him and do as He did. But guess what? This lifestyle is every evolving and is truly life long. So we encourage everyone to participate at least once, and ideally to revisit it every few years to set new goals for yourself as you continue to develop your practice.
If you've done Alpha here at GCF, you'll find Practicing The Way to be very similar in format, with a video each week that incorporates discussion in small groups. But there is "homework" to do after each session as you begin to apply the teaching practically in your life.
Pastor Brett will be your host each Monday evening; the course will run for 8 weeks in the fall and in the spring. Our next Practicing the Way course will begin in the fall...watch this space for the next sign up opportunity!
The Practices
Practicing the Way introduces nine spiritual practices that Jesus modeled for us in his own life: prayer; scripture; service; community; generosity; sabbath; fasting; solitude and witness.
The team at Practicing the Way have developed a 4-week teaching series on each of those practices. We expect to explore three practices each year, covering all nine over time and then repeating!
There are no prerequisites for joining these, everyone is welcome.
Our next 4-week practice deep dive will be the Witness Practice and will begin on May 25th. Sign up here!
