SUMMARY:Alpha - In Person - Evening
DESCRIPTION:Looking for a safe space to discuss life’s big questions? You’re at the right spot! Alpha is a series of interactive sessions exploring the basics of the Christian faith\, meaning and life. \nEach session looks at a different question\, and is designed to create conversation. There’s no pressure\, no follow-up and no charge; it’s just an open\, informal\, and honest space to explore and discuss life’s big questions together. \nOffered IN-PERSON weekly for 11 weeks\, this course starts on Wednesday September 27\, 2023 from 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm at NBUC \nA light dinner will be served followed by the video and small group discussions. \nVideo.\nThe videos are designed to be engaging and inspire conversation. Usually around 30 minutes long\, they explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity\, addressing questions like “Who is Jesus?”\, “Why and how do I pray?” and “How does God guide us?” \nSmall Group Discussion.\nProbably the most important part of any Alpha: the chance to share thoughts and ideas about the talk without being corrected or judged. There’s no obligation to say anything; it’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective. \nCheck out the first session to see if this is something you would like to explore! \nAll are welcome!
