What is Alpha?
Over 8 million people worldwide have now attended an Alpha course. It is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life, running in tens of thousands of churches of all denominations, and at universities, in prisons and on military bases across the world.
At an Alpha course people explore the Christian faith in a relaxed setting over ten thought-provoking weekly sessions, with a day or weekend away.
How Will the Alpha Course be Run at Holy Trinity?
We will be holding the course in people’s homes starting the second week of February and running through Easter. Each home group will meet weekly for an hour and a half of fellowship, Bible study, and prayer. A typical evening will begin with dessert, and a 20 minute video focusing on one aspect of the Christian faith. Following the video is time for reflection and discussion as a group, and then the evening will conclude with a short service of Compline.
These home groups will be an important part of our church’s common life and Lenten preparation this year. This is also a perfect opportunity to invite friends who are interested in exploring faith in a more low key atmosphere. A complete list of days and times when the course will be offered will be presented at the Parish Gathering.
