The "40 Days for Life" fall campaign will begin on Sept. 23rd and end on Nov. 1st. Our group has been asked to help out in praying at the abortion clinics and spreading the word. For more information, please visit the website. http://www.40daysforlife.com/Allentown/
A group of us will be committing to praying weekly at the Allentown Abortion Clinic weekly for the 6 weeks. If you are interested please email youngadults_abe@hotmail.com as the dates and times are TBD but we usually meet for 30 mins to pray.
Also, if you are interested in leading the same thing at the Bethlehem location, please also email.

Congratulations to Jerry & Veronica for their recent engagment! They met through ABCYA at bible study and we are all so happy for them. God is certainly great!

Celebrate the onset of autumn with a visit to Rookie's restaurant in Allentown.

Festivities begin 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 28 at 1328 W. Tilghman St. We'll enjoy good company, food and drink. Feel free to start a friendly game of pool or catch some Monday Night Football. If that doesn't rouse your competitive spirit, Jerry Novack is working on a quiz game. Details TBA.

So commemorate the season that brings us football, fall foliage, bright colors, apple picking, pumpkins and, in my humble opinion, the most gorgeous weather all year. (At least September-October anyway.) Hope to see you there. tom@abcya.org
