The
Alpha Course consists of a series of
talks addressing key issues relating
to the Christian faith.
| |
 |
Supper There is a
light meal together at the
beginning of each session
which gives people a chance
to get to know each other.
|
| |
 |
Talk After each talk
we divide into small groups
to discuss the topic of the
evening, ask questions and
express opinions.
|
| |
 |
Small groups Listen,
learn, discuss and discover.
And ask anything. Alpha is a
place where no question is
too simple or too hostile.
