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 7 June from 6:30 - 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 7 June and see if it is for you.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
