ALPHA COURSE KICKS OFF IN AUGUST!

Have you ever wondered “Is there more to life than this?”  If you participate in an Alpha course, you can examine this question and many others.  Alpha is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life.  It runs in tens of thousands of churches of all denominations, and at universities, in prisons and on military bases across the world.

 

At our Alpha course people explore the Christian faith in a relaxed setting over ten thought provoking weekly sessions.  It is low-key, friendly and fun.   Each week we share a meal, the topic presentation and small-group discussion.   Childcare is provided.

 

Here’s what some participants in our last course had to say about how Alpha had benefited them:

 

“Learned a lot, got clarity, found a home church, got baptized”

“I met wonderful people and feel much more comfortable at MWPC”

“I’m more sure of where I am in life; I belong where I live and with the job I have.  God has led me to it.”

“I found what was missing”

“Getting in the Word – finding a new home church – meeting Hazel”

“The small group discussions were the best”

“It’s a powerful booster shot”

“Better understanding of my call, or what it means to follow Jesus Christ and sense others”

 

Come be our guest on AUGUST 17TH for our Kick Off Dinner at 6:30 in Anderson Hall.  It’s a great opportunity to see if Alpha is for you.  If you are interested, you can register for the course that night!  Sign up now through August 15th for the dinner in Anderson Hall.
