Lent: Prayer for Revivial
February 18 - April 2, 2026
Ekklesias
April 6 - May 17, 2026
Jesus offers freedom and abundant life. And there are people all around us who have not yet encountered that reality for themselves.
Leading up to Easter, we are intentionally asking God to bring revival to our community. Our prayer is that Jesus will "set the captives free" (Isaiah 61:1). Our Father is on a mission to bring lost sons and daughters home. And He asks us to join Him in it. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we can let our lives overflow with blessing and with invitation so that others can meet the One who has set us free!
Here is how you can participate during the season of Lent:
Set aside time each day to pray for revival. And practice defiant faith.
Read Isaiah 61 to anchor your heart in the mission of Jesus. Throughout each day, ask the Holy Spirit to show you how you can step out in faith.
As you witness stories of God moving, share them! Here are some ways you can do this:

Ekklesia [ekk-luh-see-yuh] is the Greek word meaning "church," and it is what we call our small groups. This is the place where a crowd on Sunday becomes a tight-knit community, the space where you can cultivate thriving relationships with both God and others. They are vital to a healthy, growing life as a follower of Jesus, and we can’t wait to get you connected.
We have a variety of Ekklesias that you could join, including multi-generational, gender-specific, shared interests, or similar life stages. Whichever group you choose to be a part of, they all have these things in common: sharing a meal, sharing a mission, and sharing life. So if you’re looking for community, want to dive deeper with other people at Grace City, or are still wrestling through what it looks like to follow Jesus, we would love for you to join one of our Ekklesias!
Spring term Ekklesias will start the week of April 12th.
