 Denmead Alpha:  If God did exist and you could ask one

question, what would you ask?  Alpha is an internationally

acclaimed course that explores questions of life.  Over 2 million

people in the UK have attended an Alpha Course.  In the last

four years over 120 people from Denmead, and the local

area, have attended these courses.  They have told how Alpha

has literally changed their lives, given them a fresh perspective,

helped them know more about themselves and to find meaning

in their lives.

The Alpha Course— explore the meaning of life

Why not try it and see?

We have an Alpha “taster” and this will be held on

Thursday September 11th

at Barnard’s Restaurant 7.30pm

This includes a meal and a short talk and an opportunity to meet

some of the people involved in Alpha – and of course is a good

place to begin to raise questions about life – or just the

Course.     The Alpha Course is suitable for anybody regardless

of their ‘church’ background – about 50% of local attendees

have had no church background at all.

  The Alpha course starts on

Thursday September 18th at 7pm

At Denmead Baptist Church,

Anmore Road

A typical evening starts with a meal, has a talk and a discussion

in a small group where your questions and thoughts can be

explored. You will be given a course manual to help you follow

the course and additional books are available to borrow to

follow up specific themes.

 “Alpha makes Christianity relevant to modern life” Express: London

“What distinguishes Alpha from other initiatives is the easy-going, relaxed feel of the proceedings - that, and its astonishing success."  The Times, London

What Alpha offers, and what is attracting thousands of people, is permission, rare in secular culture, to discuss the big questions - life and death and their meaning." The Guardian, London

  If you would like to book a place on the Alpha Course or for

the meal, or if you want to find out more details, then please call
