Bible Study Groups

ALPHA

You are invited to a free supper and a talk on "Christianity: Boring, Untrue, and Irrelevant?"  ALPHA is a short (12 week) practical course about Christian faith.

What does ALPHA stand for?

Anyone interested in discovering or renewing the Christian faith. Adults of all ages are welcome.

Learning and laughter. It is possible to learn about faith and have fun at the same time.

Pasta and people! We enjoy good food, get to know each other, and make new friends.

Helping one another. Small groups give you a chance for honest discussion about issues raised in the videos.

Ask anything! ALPHA is a place where no question is seen as too simple, Skeptics are welcome!

If you've been to ALPHA, invite someone to come with you to this dinner. If you're a long-time church member, new to the church, or just curious - come to supper.  There is no obligation after the first night.

In order to plan meals, registration is required.  Call Trudy Jones.  Free babysitting is available.
