“Christianity is a statement which, if false, is of no importance and, if true, of infinite importance. The one thing it cannot be is moderately important.”
C.S. LEWIS
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.
Alpha is:
•a practical introduction to the Catholic faith that gives guests an opportunity to explore the meaning of life.
•fun, relaxed and totally non-pressured (thatʼs probably why over19 million people around the worldhave already done it!).where you listen, learn, discuss, anddiscover. Ask anything.•a place where no question is offlimits.How does it work?Each Alpha course session begins with food, followed by a short talk looking at a different aspect of the Christian faith. After that, there is a time for discussion in a friendly small group. Childcare is available.What is the cost?There is no charge for the Alpha course, although you may be asked to make a contribution for dinner.
