ALPHA STARTS TONIGHT!
Alpha is a great place to explore the big questions of life, faith, and meaning with others. Each session includes a time to eat together (puddings and fruit!), a video on some element of faith, and then a chance for you to share your own questions and perspectives with the group. If you want to just listen, then that’s ok too.
It's a non-judgmental, welcoming, friendly and open environment where it’s easy for anyone who is atheist, sceptic, or simply curious about faith to explore questions of life with friends and new friends. It’s also a great way to refresh your faith and answer your questions.
Alpha will run from tonight (Thursday 16th January) to Thursday 27th March at 7.30pm on Thursday evenings. We’ll also enjoy a day away together on Saturday 1st March.With people signed up already, come and join us! We’d love to see you!
