The Alpha
Course at All Saints
explore the meaning of life
.
If you are enquiring about or are just getting going in
the Christian faith we would love to invite you to join
the next Alpha course.
The
Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the
Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening manner over
ten, thought- provoking weekly sessions.
The
Alpha course runs on Wednesday evenings with the option
of a weekend away.They
consist of a series of talks looking at topics such as "Who
is Jesus?" and "Why and how do I pray?".
There
is a meal together at the beginning of each session which
gives you an opportunity to get to know each other.
After
each talk we divide into small groups for a time of discussion.For
more information please contact us.
