Alpha is a course for anyone interested in finding out more about the Christian faith or just exploring the meaning of life. Courses take place over ten weeks, with each evening consisting of supper, a short talk and then free discussion in a friendly small group setting. No question is too simple or too controversial!
Alpha courses are running up and down the country and in fact all around the world, so for more details of the course itself or find a course closer to where you live, you can either visit the national website or now you can also visit the local website, at www.abingdonalpha.org.
Each year the churches in Abingdon work together to invite the whole town and surrounding area to dinner to introduce our autumn Alpha courses. The first evening has now passed on 26th September but you can still join us for the rest of the evenings.
Our own course will run on Tuesday nights at Thameside School, where we meet on Sundays, from the 4th October. We hope to meet in the staff room, which has a cosier feel than the main hall, unless numbers are too large. We love to see you there - feel free to come and give it a try, with no obligation to come back for the rest of the sessions!
For more information or to register your interest, please contact Ed and Kate Evans.
Youth Alpha
In the past, we have run seperate Youth Alpha courses for those ages 11-18, together with other churches. Unfortunately, we have no immediate plans for another such course but we could start one if there was sufficient interest so do let us know if you'd like to be kkept in touch with what's happening.
