 The Alpha course is a 10 week opportunity to explore the
validity and
relevance of the Christian faith to your life today. It is
open to all people
whether you are a regular church goer or have never
been in a church
before; whether you’re a seeker or desire a refresher
in your faith. Alpha is
a practical introduction to the basics of
Christianity centered around a meal,
music, video and small group
discussion. At Christ Church we offer a Course
on Monday evenings and on
Saturday morning.
Monday we meet from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM. The class begins with
a
marvelous dinner and fellowship, after which we have music and a video
on
an aspect of the Christian Faith. After dessert all the participants
move into
small discussion groups, which end at 9:30 pm sharp. Next
course starts
January 2008, call office for date.
Mid-way through the course there is a weekend retreat
which centers on
our relationship with the Holy Spirit. Saturday night
is a fun filled evening
of fellowship in a relaxed atmosphere. Most
participants have considered
this weekend one of the highlights of the
Alpha Course and strongly
recommend attending.
We conclude our Alpha Course with a celebration meal.
Come alone or
invite friends, family and neighbors.
Alpha gives its graduates the opportunity to be involved
in this exciting
ministry in many capacities. They work as team members,
prayer partners,
intercessors, prepare food, provide kitchen help, as
well as clerical and
technical support.
