THE ALPHA COURSE: Exploring some of the big questions about life, God and faith
WHERE: St Chads Church and Community Centre, 38 Saint Johns Road, St Johns, Auckland.
WHEN: Starting Wednesday 19 June from 6:45 - 9pm, for seven weeks.
WHAT: We commit to creating a safe and hospitable space where people can thoughtfully and respectfully explore some of the big questions about life and God. Each week will start with a meal and then we will explore one of the following themes through video content and discussion: Is there more to life than this? Who is Jesus? Why did Jesus die? How can I have faith? Why and how do I pray? Why and how should I read my Bible?
Please send your expression of interest to alpha@stchads.org.nz
Why not come along to our first session on 19 June and see if it is for you.
