What is Alpha, Anyway?
Alpha is a series of sessions exploring life and the Christian faith in a relaxed and friendly setting. Alpha began in 1977 in London, England and is now run all around the globe, and everyone is welcome. No two Alphas look the same, but they generally have three things in common: food, a talk, and good conversation. Note: Obviously we will not have the food component as we are moving to an on-line format due to the Covid pandemic.
Who is Alpha for?
Alpha is for anyone who’s curious. The Alpha Film Series is designed to encourage and explore the basics of the Christian faith in a friendly and open environment. No question is out of bounds and you are free to discuss as much or as little as you wish.
How does it work?
Alpha is ten sessions with the option of a day or weekend in the middle. Each Session includes a social time with instructions and announcements, a short video presentation, and a discussion at the end where you may share your thoughts. 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.
St. Angela Merici runs two Alpha Courses each year, one in the Spring and one in the Fall. Both courses are the same. St. Angela Merici will run its 7th Alpha Course beginning on Monday, January 25, 2021. Alpha will be held every Monday on-line, beginning at 7:00 pm to about 8:30 pm, for ten weeks. Alpha will be free to all. The registration link can be found at the bottom of this email.
