Miss the opportunity.

Here are more details:
Who is Alpha for?
Alpha is for anyone! It particularly caters for:
- Those wanting to investigate Christianity.
- New Christians.
- Those who feel that they have never really got going as a
Christian.
- Newcomers to the Church.
- Those who want to brush up on the basics.
What is Alpha?
Anyone
interested in finding out more about the Christian faith. Adults of all
ages are welcome.
Learning and laughter. It is possible to learn
about the Christian faith and have fun
at the same time.
Pasta and pudding. Eating a meal together gives
people an opportunity to get to know
each other.
Helping one another. The small groups give a
chance to discuss issues during the
talks.
Asking anything. Alpha is a place where no
questions is regarded as too simple or
too hostile.
What's Involved?
Here's what to expect on a typical course:
The course runs on one evening a week for 8 weeks.
The
evenings start at 7.00pm with a light supper, which is followed by a talk.
We then divide into smaller groups for coffee and biscuits and discuss
questions raised from the talk, aiming to finish at by 9.30 pm.
- There is an opportunity to go
on an away- day about half-way through the course. This has been a key
part of the course and a great success in helping people get to know each
other.
What will it cost?
There is usually no charge for Alpha, although a small
contribution may be requested for the meal
each evening.
