    Alpha Course  
 
 

 

If you are enquiring about, or are just getting into, 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 eight thought-provoking weekly evening sessions. We in Pyrford are delighted to be participating in the world-wide Alpha initiative which has helped millions of people from all over the globe.

We have been running Alpha at the Good Shepherd for quite a few years – each course proves to be very different, but each has made a big difference in the life of many of those attending.

The evening course starts with an informal supper followed by a short talk about the topic of the week (such as Who is Jesus?, Who is the Holy Spirit?), after which we break into smaller discussion groups which provide the opportunities to ask and explore all those challenging questions which Alpha participants have. There is no charge for attending the Alpha Course – why not give it a go !

Our next Alpha course starts at the Good Shepherd on Wednesday 28th January 2009. Before that, there will be a guest supper at the Good Shepherd on Wednesday 14th January (8pm) where you can come along to hear a bit more about the course, hear from others’ experiences of Alpha and generally get a feel for the relaxed environment that will be a feature of the course. !

"What Alpha offers, and what is attracting thousands of people, is permission, rare in secular culture, to discuss the big questions - life and death and their meaning." - The Guardian.
