Alpha is a course of 11 evening sessions, plus one local ‘Holy Spirit day’ together. Each evening session starts at 7PM in the coffee area at St Peters church (Kirkgate, Birstall, WF17 9PB) and includes free refreshments.
Each session involves watching a short video talk designed to spark conversation. Here are the titles for each session:
- Is there more to life than this?
- Who is Jesus?
- Why did Jesus die?
- How can I have faith?
- Why and how do I pray?
- Why and how should I read the Bible?
- How does God guide us?
- Holy Spirit day
- Introduction to the day
- Who is the Holy Spirit?
- What does the Holy Spirit do?
- How can I be filled with the Holy Spirit?
- How can I make the most of the rest of my life?
- How can I resist evil?
- Why and how should I tell others?
- Does God heal today?
- What about the church?
You don’t need any previous experience of church or any special knowledge to attend – everyone is welcome. There’s no commitment to continue with the course if you don’t enjoy it. We also understand that people may have to miss a session due to other plans.
