🔥 Awakening Is Coming to Bradford! Join Us May 2 at Open Arms
Open Arms Community Church is honored and excited to host the next Awakening Service — a powerful evening of worship, prayer, and the manifest presence of God — this Friday, May 2 at 7 PM at our new location: 71 Congress Street, Bradford, PA.
We are part of the Keystone Conference of the Free Methodist Church, and this year, the conference is once again calling people together across Pennsylvania for evenings of revival and renewal. These gatherings — simply called Awakening — are unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.
What Is the Awakening Service?
For the past few years, churches throughout the Keystone Conference have been uniting on Friday nights for a time of deep worship and prayer. These are not just another church service. They are holy moments where the Holy Spirit moves powerfully, lives are touched, and hearts are stirred with fresh passion for Jesus.
A few years ago at an Awakening service in Port Allegany, Greg Newkirk rolled in seated in a wheelchair, racked with severe back pain after years of complications. Someone approached him and whispered in his ear, “God wants to heal you tonight.” He walked out that night, pushing his wheelchair, without pain.
Folks from different churches across the conference will gather together, we will pray, we’ll worship, and we’ll ask God for an awakening in this part of Pennsylvania together, in our own lives, and in our families.
Superintendent Chris Hill described the last encounter at Fleming Free Methodist Church from a recent service said, “When it’s after 9 the benediction has been given, the last song sung, but no one’s moves. A holy awe had settled over those gathered. We experienced the manifest presence of the Holy Spirit.”
That’s what we’re praying for here in Bradford. That’s what we’re expecting.
Why Should You Come?
Because we believe God wants to meet with His people.
As we gather in our new building at 71 Congress Street, this isn’t just an event. It’s an invitation — to seek revival, to hunger and thirst for righteousness, to lift our voices and hearts together with believers from around the region and experience what only God can do.
Whether you’ve been feeling spiritually dry, longing for more, or just want to worship alongside others who are hungry for God — this night is for you.
