Alpha
Alpha is a ten-week opportunity to explore the validity and relevance of the Christian faith for our lives today. It is a practical introduction to the basics of Christianity with loads of opportunity for debate and discussion.
- Who is Alpha for? Alpha is enjoyed and appreciated as much by those who have never set foot in a church as it is by the regular churchgoer. Everyone is welcome on the Alpha course!
- What happens at Alpha? Each week people meet together for a meal, a talk on topics such as "Who is Jesus?", "Why Did Jesus Die?", and "How Can I be Sure of My Faith?", followed by small group interaction. There is a weekend retreat midway through the course, which focuses on the person and work of the Holy Spirit.
- What will it cost? There is no charge for the Alpha course, although a small contribution might be requested for the meal each evening and for the food and accommodation during the Alpha weekend away.
Alpha meets during our Family Night activities ...beginning on September 13th.
- Dinner begins at 5:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Room.
- A time of worship and a video presentation of each week's topic starts at 6:30 p.m.
- An opportunity to discuss each topic in a small group setting follows the video and dismisses at about 8:00 p.m.
