The
Alpha Course: An Opportunity to Explore the Meaning of Life
We are currently taking a hiatus. If you're interested
in attending when we start up again, please email our pastor Marc Pitman at marc@watervillevineyard.org.
What is Alpha?
Alpha is a
ten-week opportunity to explore the validity and relevance of the
Christian faith for
our 21st century lives.
It's relaxed, non-threatening,
low key, friendly, and fun.
We have a meal at the beginning
of each session which gives us the opportunity to get to know each
other.
It's a practical introduction
to the basics of Christianity with lots of
opportunity
for debate
and discussion. You can ask anything!
What's Goes On? Each week people meet together
for a terrific meal. After dinner, we watch a talk on
topics such as "Who
is Jesus?", "Why
Did Jesus Die?", "Why and How do I Pray?" Then we spend
time in small groups to discuss the talk.
There is a Saturday afternoon/evening
retreat midway through the course, which focuses on the person and
work of the Holy Spirit.
Who is Alpha for?
Alpha is for everyone, especially:
- Those wanting to investigate Christianity
- New Christians
- Newcomers to the church
- Those who want to brush up on the basics
What Will It Cost?
There is no charge for the
Alpha course or the meal.
