Join us for Alpha!
Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith, typically run over eleven weeks. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone is welcome.
First Up…Food
Food has a way of bringing people together. Breaking bread together is fundamental Christian tradition. We start with food, because it’s a great way to encourage community and get to know each other.
Then…Talk
The talks are designed to engage and inspire conversation. Generally thirty minutes long. They explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus? and How can we have faith?
Followed by…Discussion
Probably the most important part of any Alpha: the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic, and simply discuss it in a small group. There’s no obligation to say anything. And there’s nothing you can’t say. It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.
All are welcome to join us for these powerful small groups. To register for either Tuesday morning at St. Catherine or Tuesday night at St. Sebastian email Pat Kennedy at pkennedy@saintsebs.org. For questions about the program, please email Jon Metz jmetz@saintsebs.org.
