What happens at Alpha?

There is a series of talks, looking at such topics as:

• Who is Jesus?
• What evidence is there that Jesus rose from the dead?
• Why did Jesus die?
• Can I be sure that I am a Christian?
• Why and how do I read the Bible?
• How should we pray?
• How does God guide us?
• Is the Holy Spirit active today?
• How can I overcome evil?
• Why and how do I tell other people?
• Does God heal today?
• During the evening there is a time of teaching covering one of these topics. After that, we divide into smaller groups to discuss questions people have and to look at a passage in the Bible.

What will it cost?

• There is no charge for Alpha, but there will be a small cost, about £10, for the day away.
• When and where?
• Alpha meets in Telford, either in someone's home or at J1. The Alpha evening starts with a meal all together at 7.00pm. We aim to finish by 9.30pm
