ALPHA IS COMNG...
The Alpha Course will begin in January. It will be held on Monday evenings. This is a wonderful opportunity to reach out to the unchurched, de churched, or to people of other faith traditions who are open to exploring Christianity. Please be thinking now about whom you might invite to attend.
The Alpha Marriage Course is an opportunity to "tune up" a marriage. It will also begin in January, and be held on Friday evenings. Begin praying now as to whether this is a good opportunity for you and your spouse to set aside a little "marriage time." This course is also open to those in the community.
Blessings,
Becki+ |
