We will be running a new Alpha Course at Christ Church starting with the introductory session:
“IS THERE MORE TO LIFE THAN THIS?”

on  Wednesday 24 September 2008 at 7.30pm  in Christ Church Hall, Church Road, Alsager.

It includes an evening meal, tea and coffee and is free.The course will run for 10 Wednesday evenings.

To book your place please either e-mail Debbie/Nicci in the church office
(
christchurchoffice@hotmail.co.uk ) or phone on 01270 872291  or you may have a “What’s it all about?” leaflet available from the hall or church porch which you can fill in and return it to Debbie/Nicci in the Church Office.
.....IS ALPHA FOR ME? Alpha is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed setting over ten thought-provoking weekly sessions, with a day away at Rudyard Lake Conference Centre. It is low-key, friendly, relaxed and fun – and last year we had a great course here in Christ Church. People even enjoyed Toby’s jokes! Each week we have a meal together in the church lounge, watch a DVD by Nicky Gumbel and then discuss issues it raises in small groups. No questions are off limits and the discussions really are shaped by the participants themselves.It is free.
Over 8 million people have now attended an Alpha course, running in tens of thousands of churches of all denominations across the world Last year over 192 000 people attended an Alpha Course in the UK. This was 15% more people than in 2006. It’s getting more popular so come and give it a go! You do not have to have been to church recently- it’s for people who are unsure what Christianity is all about but who want to explore this. Issues covered range from “What is the point of life? What happens when we die? Is forgiveness possible? ” to “Is Jesus relevant today?”
In answer to “What have you found helpful about Alpha?” One guest from last year answered “I did not know what to expect from Alpha but found the format excellent and was sad when it ended!” another said “Everything was helpful – I made friends while learning about God, creation etc
," Give it a go... you won't regret it!
