Alpha is a series of interactive sessions exploring the basics of the Christian faith. Each session looks at a different question and is designed to create conversation. There’s no pressure, just an open, informal, and honest space to explore and discuss life’s big questions together.
Alpha Week 3 is this Sunday, October 20, from 9:30 am to 11:00 am.
Start the day with a delicious (and varied! Look forward to some quiche this weekend) breakfast followed by a short, thought-provoking video "Why did Jesus die?", and then small group discussion.

People in love never stand still: they are drawn out of themselves; they are attracted and attract others in turn; they give themselves to others and build relationships that are life-giving. As far as God’s love is concerned, no one is useless or insignificant. Each of us is a mission to the world, for each of us is the fruit of God’s love!” (Excerpt from Pope Francis’ letter of June 9, 2019, Pentecost Sunday, in which he convoked the Extraordinary Mission Month.)
In 1962, Lou Groen, a franchise owner in Cincinnati, Ohio, noticed that Fridays were not good for his hamburger sales.
