Alpha
What am I doing here?
Why’s it so messed up?
What on earth is going on?
If
God did exist what would you ask?
Alpha
Over
2 million people
in the UK and 11 million worldwide have now attended an Alpha course, an
opportunity to explore the meaning of life, running in tens of thousands of
churches of all denominations across the world.
Alpha is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a
relaxed setting over eight thought-provoking weekly sessions, with a day or
weekend away.
However forget dry and dusty course and think social evening with food and
laughter as well as an opportunity to work through those questions that
you’ve never had the chance to ask – Does God exist? Who is Jesus? What’s
the real evidence? Is there life after death?
Who is
Alpha for?
Alpha is
for anyone aged 16 or over. It particularly caters for:
People investigating Christianity
New Christians
Newcomers to the Church
Those who want to renew or deepen their
faith.
What will it cost?
There is
no charge for an Alpha course, although a contribution towards the evening
meal and the cost of the away-day would be appreciated.
When & Where?
On
Wednesday 1st October 2008
there we
are holding

no-obligation ‘taster’ evening at which you will be able to see and hear
more about what Alpha has to offer. The evening will finish at about
9.30pm after dessert and coffee.

What Alpha offers, and what is attracting thousands of people, is
permission, rare in secular culture, to discuss the big questions - life and
death and their meaning."
