Ireland: Alpha Course - Gorey
starts with a meal on 10 January 2008
at 19:30 in St. Aiden's Day Care Centre
To book contact: 053 9481381
What is Alpha? Alpha is a 10-week course that explores some of the
basic truths of the Christian faith – Who is Jesus? Why did Jesus
die? Participants meet weekly and listen to a 20/40 minute talk. These
talks are available on DVD or can be given by a live speaker. Participants
then break into small groups to discuss the talk and questions arising
from it. During the Course there is a day/week-end away focusing on
the Holy Spirit.
Many Church leaders have endorsed this Course, including Archbishop
Sean Brady, who said "Alpha has developed a reputation as an inspirational
programme of Christian Education and formation, producing excellent
results and having a long-lasting and positive effect for those who
participate ... may it continue to grow and develop."
