What is Alpha?
Good question!
Aussie's today are searching. Are you looking for some purpose, direction and
maybe answers to some of those “big” questions of life?
The
Alpha Course has been going in Australia for over ten years. It’s not a Church
service, it's a chance for anyone to come along to a local Church or other venue
and find answers to the questions of life. This course runs once a week over
thirteen
weeks. It consists of a series of talks addressing key
issues relating to the Christian faith.
On the
first night the topic is Christianity: Boring, Untrue and Irrelevant? Why not come
along and see what you make of it. You never know, it could
provide the answers that you've been looking for.
The
course format includes:
Talk - The evening begins with a talk.
Supper - After the talk we will enjoy supper (not a meal)
together. This is a chance to get to know each other.
Small groups - We will then break into small groups to listen,
learn, discuss and discover. Ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is
too simple or too hostile.
