ALPHA
New Session: January 15
Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation.
At each 2 hour session, we will connect over food and watch a 30-minute video.
The time of connection is followed by a talk on a subject central to the Christian faith. Each session we will explore the big issues of life and faith and unpack the basics of Christian belief, addressing questions like “Who is Jesus?”, “Why and how do I pray?” and “How does God guide us?”
Check out Alpha Canada for more.
