If you've ever asked these questions . . .
- Who is Jesus?
- What is the meaning of life?
- What happens when we die?
- What relevance does Jesus have for our lives?
- How do we deal with guilt?
- Why and how should I read the Bible?
- Why and how do I pray?
- Does
God heal today?
. . . then Alpha is for
you!
The Program:
 Alpha is a practical overview
of the Christian faith for practicing Christians as well as those investigating
Christianity. Members are divided into groups who eat dinner together,
worship in song, watch a video, and interact in small groups. Toward
the end of the 10 weeks, we spend a Friday night and Saturday morning
session on the Holy Spirit. We culminate our course with a
Celebration Dinner, and invite others to come view the first tape entitled
"Christianity: Boring, Untrue, and Irrelevant?" There
is no charge for any of the Alpha events.
Alpha is For:
Anyone interested in finding out more about the Christian
faith. Adults of all ages are welcome, regardless of your religious
background.
Learning and laughter. An informal atmosphere where you
can learn about the Christian faith and have fun at the same time.
People meeting together. An opportunity to get to know
others and to make new friends.
Helping one another. The small group gives you a chance
to discuss issues raised during the talks.
Ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is seen
as too simple or too hostile.
In summary, Alpha is
based on friendship, having a meal with others, a talk and small group
discussion at a table.
