ALPHA

INVITE DES MOINES TO DINNER - Sunday, September 12 / 5:30 p.m. / Fellowship Hall

Alpha is an opportunity to explore the validity and relevance of the Christian faith for our lives today. It is a practical introduction to the basics of Christianity with loads of opportunity for debate and discussion. The style of Alpha is informal, friendly and non-pressured.

Alpha is enjoyed and appreciated as much by those who have never set foot in a church as it is by those who once attended or are regular churchgoers. No matter what your background, whether investigating Christianity for the first time or revisiting your faith, participants get a lot out of an Alpha course.

Bring those you have considered inviting to church to a gala dinner to check-out Alpha. They will be politely encouraged, without pressure, to consider attending the remainder of the 10-week course.

Each week of the Alpha course begins with a dinner followed by a talk that addresses one of the key issues relating to the Christian faith. The evening closes with an open discussion concerning the evening’s talk.

Alpha is for all adults and is especially geared to:
• People interested in investigating Christianity
• Newcomers to the church
• New Christians
• Couples preparing for marriage
• Christians who want to brush up on the basics.

The 10-week Alpha course meets on Sunday evenings in Fellowship Hall at 5:30 p.m. and is offered two times each year — fall and winter/spring. The next course starts September 12, with an introductory dinner. Even if you are not sure about making the 10-week commitment, come to the dinner to find whether this is for you.
