The next Alpha Course will begin on Tuesday 14th February 2012 @ 6pm. The overnight retreat will be held on the 23rd - 24th March 2012.
The Alpha Course is a practical introduction to the Christian faith and is open to anyone.
The course is based around small groups of about 10-12 people, hosted by one or two leaders whose role is to facilitate and encourage discussion within the group.
The whole course lasts for 10 weeks with an 'Overnight stay away on a weekend'.
Course sessions begin with a meal, then there are talks (DVD) and small group discussion where there is the opportunity to ask questions and explore the topics.
The weekend overnight stay is a KEY part of the course as well as being great fun.
There is no charge for Alpha although we do invite a donation towards the guest manuals, meals and weekend costs.
The topics covered over the course of 10 weeks are:
- Introductory Session : Is there more to life than this?
- Who is Jesus?
- Why Did Jesus Die?
- How Can We Have Faith?
- Why & How Do I Pray?
- Why an How Should I Read the Bible?
- How Does God Guide us?
- Who is the Holy Spirit?
- What Does the Holy Spirit Do?
- How Can I Be Filled with the Holy Spirit?
- How Can I Resist Evil?
- Why and How Should I Tell Others?
- Does God Heal Today?
- What about the Church?
- How Can I Make the Most of the Rest of My Life?
