Bwala's Prayer Group
Leader: Bwala Amunabi

The purpose of this group is to create a community where people can come and release their burden to God.
In the presence of God, you get discernment, prophecy, illumination, and revelation to whatever you're going through.

This group will be a combination of fellowship, bible study, and prayer.
In the fellowship, we share life experiences/challenges.
That leads us to the Bible to remind us how Jesus responded to such issues.
Finally, we will gather in group prayer to receive encouragement and/or instructions to achieve success/ peace for the challenges in our lives.

We will go to scriptures to address whatever topics the group needs to study and discuss.

We'll meet monthly at the Bethlehem church building. The room, times and dates to be determined.

This group is open to men and women.

Bwala Amunabi will be hosting this group.

PG - The 18/30 Group (Allentown)
Leader: Ian Martin

The idea is to build community for 18-30 year olds. We'll start with dinner together, then spend about 90 mins in study/discussion. Through the year we'll rotate between doing small group studies, to open discussion on spiritual topics, to sharing our stories, worship nights and social nights. Our biggest thing is providing a safe space to discuss tough topics and explore the foundations of Christian faith. In our experience, this is the ideal type of venue for deep friendships, belonging, and real spiritual growth. We can't wait to get started!

Tuesdays 6:30pm

Invite anyone aged 18-30 who might benefit from community and stimulating spiritual discussion. They don't have to be from NC4, or even sure of what they believe!

The 18/30 group is for 18 to 30-year-olds and they meet Tuesdays at 18:30! They meet at Ian & Celina's house weekly and start on Sept 3. This home is not handicap accessible, is smoke-free, and has a dog.
