ALPHA AT SEAGATE :
 
At Seagate Evangelical Church we have been running the Alpha Course for eight years. Our next course will be in January 2010.
We usually start at 7pm each Wednesday evening.
   
 
 What is the point of life? 
 Why do people suffer?
 What happens when we die? 
 Is forgiveness possible?
 
 
WHAT IS ALPHA?
 
The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith.
It's relaxed, low key, friendly and fun.
There is a meal together at the beginning of each session which gives you an opportunity to get to know each other.
Listen, learn, discuss and discover. And ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile.
And it's supported by all the main Christian denominations
 
WHAT'S INVOLVED?
 
The Alpha course consists of a series of talks looking 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.
 
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 WILL IT COST?
 
There is no charge for the Alpha course, although you may be asked to make a contribution towards the day away..
