Alpha Course

If you have been thinking perhaps there's more to life and would like the opportunity  to explore what the Bible has to say about God, why not come along to our next Alpha?

Alpha starts at St Paul's, Preston on September 29th at 7.30pm.

if you would like to come along, please contact our Vicar, John Pout (link below) - you will be very welcome.

Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith and is designed for people  who may or may not believe in God but  would like to have the chance to explore it. 

Each week we start with a video to introduce the week's topic followed by open discussion. 

We will look at the big issues of faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, with questions like Who is Jesus? and How can we have faith? to Why and how do I pray? and How does God guide us?

Probably the most important part is the chance to share thoughts and experience and to simply discuss it in a small group. There's no obligation to say anything and there's nothing you can't say (seriously!). It's an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.

Here's the programme:

Week 1    Is there more to life than this?

Week 2    Who is Jesus?

Week 3    Why did Jesus die?

Week 4    How can I have faith?

Week 5    Why and how should I pray?

Week 6    Why should I read the Bible?

Week 7    How does God guide us?

Week 8    Who is the Holy Spirit? 

Week 9    How can I resist evil?

Week 10  Does God heal today? & What about the church?

So why not give it a try? The absolute worst that could happen is that you don't like it and then all that means is you wasted an evening, but you might just discover that there really is a God and that He's interested in you. That really would be worth risking an evening for!
