What is the point of life?

What happens when we die?

What relevance does Jesus have for our lives today?

How do we deal with guilt?

If you would like to explore any of these questions in a relaxed and informal atmosphere, then ALPHA is for you.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What happens at Alpha?
Each night begins with dinner, following by a video presentation on some aspect of Christian faith, including the following:

Who is Jesus?
Why did Jesus die?
Why and how should I read the Bible?
Why and how do I pray?
What about the Holy Spirit?
How can I overcome evil?
Why and how should I tell others?
Does God heal today?
What about the church?

Following each talk there is an opportunity for discussion in small-groups. Anything goes – no question is too simple or too skeptical to be asked – great discussions result, plus an opportunity to get to know one other and learn together.
