» Alpha
In St Michael’s Church we run the Alpha course usually twice a year. Alpha is the ideal vehicle for those who are exploring Christianity, for those who are new Christians or those who wish to clarify their thinking as Christians.
Our next course starts in January 2010 in the Castle Rooms at 7.00pm. For more information call 01970 617184.
We try to make it as “user friendly” as possible. This is done in 3 ways:
1. The evening is informal starting with a light meal then people listen to a talk. Then there is time to mix with others in small groups to discuss the talk and ask the questions important to you. You will be discussing things important to you; you will not be lectured at.
2. Everyone is free to try the course and leave it if they feel it is not for them. They are not pursued or followed up.
3. There is no charge for the course, apart from the weekend away, if finance was an impediment for someone joining the weekend away we would try and find some way of helping. The weekend away is a helpful part of the course that gives people a chance to pause and reflect.
Millions of people worldwide have found the Alpha course an incredible life changing experience that has helped to answer those important questions of life. It has also impacted the lives of many who worship at this church. If you would like more information or the date of the next course, contact the church. The Alpha course was developed at Holy Trinity Church, Brompton Road, London, further information about it is available at http://www.alphacourse.org
