Next event coming up from our church: The Alpha Course
I have learned so much about Christianity through this course and I recommend it to anyone who wants to explore everything you want to want to know about it.. hee!
Do send me an email if you wish to attend!
What is Alpha?
The Alpha Course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith, and it consists of a series of talks addressing key issues relating to the Christian faith.
It’s relaxed, low-key, friendly and fun.
Meal: There is a meal together at the beginning of each session which gives people a chance to get to know each other.
Talk: There will be a talk by Rev Nicky Gumbel on video, or done live by a speaker on topics of interest. See below for topics.
Coffee & Small groups: Listen, learn, discuss and discover. And ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile.
