Freedom in Christ Course
We are pleased to announce that we will be running this 7 week course online starting on Saturday, 31st October from 10am to 1pm. This course has only 20 spaces which are exclusive to members of E5 or who are currently part of a Life Group within the church.
The Freedom In Christ approach to discipleship will help every Christian to become fruitful disciples. This course is suitable for both new Christians and those who have been Christians a long time. The course focuses on establishing your identity in Christ, and then equips the believer with tools to help them break free and stay free.
Focused on firstly establishing every Christian in the sure foundation of their identity in Jesus, it gives them the tools to break free and stay free from all that holds them back in life and being a fruitful disciple, and a strategy for ongoing transformation.
The cost of the course is £15 for the materials required. Please sign up at this link to receive more information: Freedom in Christ Course
You are invited to the next BPN online event on Tuesday 27th October at 6pm.
The theme of this event is “Be The Change”. We will be discussing what black and ethnic minority professionals can do to become the change they want to see, in spite of racism, discrimination and injustice.
The event will be led by a panel of guest speakers who will address the following topics:
The recent dehumanising and injustices faced by black and ethnic minority people.
The increasing rhetoric and decreasing action on socio-economic equity in UK.
The practical ways that we can all add value to the black communities we live and work in to become the change we want to see.
You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and contribute to the discussion during this event.
Also, have you seen the recent In Conversations With… series hosted by the BPN?
You can check out the second episode with Marti Burgess here.

Soft Launch of T4Bristol Website - Your Views Welcomed
The Bristol networks website has been here in its current form serving the Christian community in Bristol for very nearly 10 years now, which back then had made the transition from the old network website.
Now a new transitional period is upon us, as the Bristol networks website and Together4Bristol website merge into one new redesigned and responsive website, which will be called Together4Bristol once it goes fully live in November.
We are entering into the final stages of tweaking and polishing the new look site and wanted to open it up for comment before the launch date. Please visit Bristol Networks Articles
