Alpha Course
Alpha is a course that explores the basics of Christian faith for anyone who has questions about life and faith. The sessions are informal and fun, with refreshments, food or cakes provided each week, and run over a series of weeks. Each week you will watch a short talk on a DVD and have the opportunity to discuss as much or as little as you want in small groups. At any point, if you think Alpha isn’t for you, that’s not a problem. There’s no pressure, no follow up and no charge. Exploring Christianity We have run follow up Alpha courses, including ‘The Jesus Lifestyle’, a six-week course based on Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, exploring how we can apply Jesus’ teaching to our everyday lives. Rev James has also run a pub Lent group in the The Bull, with discussions based on a book by Francis Spufford’s book ‘Unapologetic: Why, Despite Everything, Christianity Can Still Make Surprising Emotional Sense’. Confirmation and First Holy Communion Rev James runs a series of classes for anyone wanting to prepare (themselves or their child) for Confirmation or First Holy Communion. If you’d like to discuss any of these with him, you can contact him by email james.lttm@gmail.com or phone 01883 722351. Visit our Life Events page to find out more. WhatsApp Prayer Group St Peter's has its own WhatsApp prayer group where everyone involved can receive a short prayer from time to time, or share items for prayer. If you'd like to join, please contact Paul Budgen: budgep7@gmail.com with your number. |
