What is the point of life?  What happens when we die?

Is forgiveness possible?  What relevance does Jesus have for our lives today?

What is Alpha?

The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith. It's relaxed, non-threatening, low key, friendly and fun. There is a meal together at the beginning of each session, which gives you an opportunity to get to know each other. Listen, learn, discuss, discover and ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile. It's supported by all the main Christian denominations and locally in Harlington through St Mary's, Harlington Methodists and Life Church. To view the national Alpha site click here.

What's involved?

The Alpha course consists of a series of talks looking at topics such as 'Who is Jesus?' and 'Why and how do I pray?' After each talk we divide into small groups for a time of discussion.

Who is Alpha for?

Alpha is for everyone, especially:

     · Those wanting to investigate Christianity

     · New Christians

     · Newcomers to the church

     · Those who want to brush up on the basics

What will it cost?

There is no charge for the Alpha course, although you may wish to make a contribution to the food.

When and Where?

The next course is being run twice this coming autumn, at the Parish Hall (near St. Mary’s Parish Church), Harlington. The daytime course starts on Tuesday 15th September 2009 and runs for 12 consecutive weeks. Each session runs from 10.30 to 12.30. The evening course begins on Wednesday 16th September, at 7.45pm, and again runs for 12 weeks.
