WHAT IS ALPHA? Alpha is a 10-week course that presents some of the basic teachings of the Christian faith. Each meeting begins with a meal followed by a video on a subject central to the Christian faith. It is an opportunity for adults of all backgrounds to explore the meaning of life in a safe, fun and non-threatening atmosphere. ================================ WHO IS ALPHA FOR? Alpha is for anyone wanting to grow in the love and knowledge of God the Father, His Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Does God really love you? Do you want to re-kindle or deepen your faith? Have little or no faith? Have unanswered questions such as ‘What happens when I die?‘? Adults of all ages are welcome. Alpha is inter-denominational. ================================ WHY ALPHA? Have you:
Do you know the Holy Spirit? Is God tugging at you to come? Not sure? Try the first two sessions and bring a friend. There is no obligation. ================================ WHEN IS ALPHA? The Alpha Course begins Tuesday, September 9, 2008 at 6:30 in the hospitality room at St. Stephen’s, Grand Island and continues for 10 Tuesday evenings. There is a $5.00 book fee. A simple meal is provided. To register, call Virginia at 774-2719 or print and fill out the registration form (click here) and drop it in the collection plate. Come, bring a friend. ================================ WHAT HAPPENS AT ALPHA? Video presentations explain the Gospel clearly, in a way that is relevant for today. Discussions include ‘Who is Jesus?’, ‘Why did Jesus die?’, ’Why and How Should I Read the Bible?’ and ‘How Can I Overcome Evil?‘ among others. The small groups provide a chance to discuss issues raised during the talks. ================================ WHAT HAVE OTHERS SAID? These are some comments we received from those who participated: “This program affected me profoundly. It impressed upon me the love of my Lord, and opened my heart and mind. I did not believe it could happen to me.” Another, “It filled a void I was looking for. I feel complete.” And, “Before I was guilt ridden. Now I am at peace.” “Before this program, I did not understand the role of the Holy Spirit in my life and that He has always been with me.” “The language of the videos is sensible, simple, and truthful. I feel I can tell others now.” ================================ Something new for Alpha: Come to an Alpha introduction night. Learn more about Alpha before you commit to the program. Anyone who might be interested in spiritual renewal may come to try it out for one night. The date is Tuesday, August 26 at 7:00 PM. Bring your friends. (Meal is not provided)
