Invite someone to Alpha
…that’s right Alpha is back! We’ll be starting a new Alpha course on Wednesday 25 September, starting at 6.45pm at WBC.
It will be a 10-week course that creates space for people to explore faith, life and God. Each week, we eat together, watch a half-hour film and then chat about what we’ve just heard. Do you know someone who might be interested in coming along, maybe you’d like to come with them? For more information: Try Alpha — Alpha UK - Stay Curious. Try Alpha.
