THE ALPHA COURSE at St Mary Magdalen - 2007

Over the last fifteen years or so the Alpha Course has become the best-known and arguably most effective introduction to the Christian faith.

Subtitled "An Opportunity to Explore the Meaning of Life" it puts a strong emphasis on building friendships between participants. A vital part of this is sharing a meal together, before hearing somebody speak about an aspect of the Christian faith and then having an opportunity to discuss this, or anything else, together.
Following the course we ran last year, a number of the participants have continued to meet together in what has become a home group. This clearly shows the value they came to place on these friendships and the chance to explore issues that really matter.

Our forthcoming Alpha course will begin with a meal at Ask in the High Street on January 16th. This is free and gives an opportunity to discover a little about Alpha at St Mary’s. If you have not done Alpha before please come along to this – or even better invite somebody to come with you.
The course itself begins on Tuesday January 23rd and we are thrilled that Mike and Judy Barrow have agreed to open their home to host us. For more information about the course or for an invitation to the meal at Ask please contact St Mary’s Parish office or complete the form below.
