The Alpha Course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening setting over ten thought-provoking weekly sessions.

It is low-key, friendly and fun.

Everyone is welcome on the course - anyone who is wanting to investigate Christianity, new Christians, newcomers to St Margaret's, and for those who want to brush up on the basics.

The course explores the following questions:

• Is there more to life than this? (Introductory Talk)
• Who is Jesus?
• Why did Jesus die?
• How can we have faith?
• Why and how do I pray?
• Why and how should I read the Bible?
• How does God guide us?
• Who is the Holy Spirit?
• What does the Holy Spirit do?
• How can I be filled with the Holy Spirit?
• How can I resist evil?
• Why and how should we tell others?
• Does God heal today?
• What about the Church?
• How can I make the most of the rest of my life?

The Alpha Course at St Margaret's Church runs on Tuesday nights, starting at 6.45pm with a meal. The next course will be starting on Tuesday 23 September 2008. Please contact the church office on 625 8808 to find out more information about this course.
