Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith, run over ten weeks. Each session will have a talk which is designed to engage and inspire conversation. They’re about thirty minutes long and explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus?, How can we have faith? and How does God guide us? Following this, and probably the most important part of any Alpha, is the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic, and simply discuss it in a small group. There's no obligation to say anything and there's nothing you can't say (seriously). It's an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment. Everyone is welcome to come along.

Alpha at St James begins on Thursday 26th January at 7pm in church
