What is Alpha?

The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the christian faith.

It’s relaxed, low-key, friendly and fun.

There is a meal together at the beginning of each session which gives you an opportunity to get to know each other.

Listen, learn, discuss and discover. And ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile.

And it’s supported by all the main Christian denominations.

What’s involved?

The Alpha course consists of a series of talks looking at topics such as “Who is Jesus?” and “Why and how do I pray?” After each talk we divide into small groups for a time of discussion.

Who is Alpha for?

Alpha is for everyone, especially:

• Those wanting to investigate Christianity
• New Christians
• Newcomers to the church
• Those who want to brush up on the basics

What will it cost?

There is no charge for the Alpha course, although you may be asked to make a contribution towards food.

When does it start?

This term’s Alpha course runs from May to July 2010 in the home of Mike and Betty Hayes, with sessions every Wednesday for ten weeks. Sessions start at 8.00pm, and finish promptly by 9.15pm. The course is now underway, but it is not too late to join in!

We are planning future Alpha courses, and other courses to which all are welcome. Contact the Parish Office for the latest information and to reserve your place on the next course. See also the Alpha website.
