A Guided Tour


What Is Alpha?
The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith. It's relaxed, low-key, friendly - and fun.

Each session begins with a meal together which gives you an opportunity to get to know each other. Then there is time to listen, learn, discuss, discover...and ask anything - no question is too simple or too hostile.

Who is Alpha for?
Alpha is for everyone, especially:-
· Those wanting to investigate Christianity
· New Christians
· Newcomers to the church
· Those who want to brush up on the basics

What's involved?
The Alpha course in Marshfield starts with a Supper on Wednesday, 10th September, 7pm for 7.30pm at Marshfield School. In the weeks that follow, there will be sessions with talks on topics such as "Who is Jesus" and "Why and how do I pray". After each talk we divide into small groups for a time of discussion. There is no charge for the course, but contributions towards food are appreciated.
