ALPHA
CONNECT, BELONG, DISCOVER.

What is Alpha?
Alpha is a series of eleven weekly interactive sessions that freely explore the meaning of life and the basics of the Christian faith in a friendly, open and informal environment. 
 
Alpha takes people on a journey often leading to a personal encounter with Jesus Christ.  It enables people to ask their questions, share ideas, build friendships, and experience the love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Who is Alpha for? 
If you desire to develop, deepen, or renew your relationship with Jesus, Alpha is for YOU!  Alpha is for everyone, no matter where you are in your faith.  And, consider inviting a friend to join you on the journey!

Alpha is for everyone – no question is out of bounds and you are free to discuss as much or as little as you wish. We don’t assume any background knowledge or belief in Christianity and everyone is welcome.  We'd love to hear your perspective!
 
How does Alpha work?
Alpha is eleven weekly sessions.  Each session includes food, a short video, and small group discussions where you can share your thoughts.  The weekly topics are designed to encourage conversation.  No question is out of bounds and you are free to discuss as much or as little as you wish.  At any point, if you feel Alpha is not for you, that's not a problem.  There is NO pressure.

When is the next Alpha?
Alpha Winter 2022 starts January 20, 2022 and goes through April 21, 2022 at St. Albert Parish Center.  You can attend either the Morning Sessions from 9:30-11:00am or Evening Sessions from 6:30-8:00pm. There is also a special one-day retreat included on Saturday, March 19, 2022.

What to expect at Alpha:
First up there's Food
Food has a way of bringing people together. It’s no different at Alpha.  We start with food, because it’s a great way to encourage community and get to know each other.
 
Then a Talk
The talks are designed to engage and inspire conversation.  Generally, thirty minutes long, each video will help explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity addressing questions such as Who is Jesus? and How can we have faith?
 
Followed by Discussion
Probably the most important part of any Alpha, this is the chance to share thoughts and ideas on the topic, and simply discuss it in a small group.  There’s no obligation to say anything.  And, there’s nothing you can’t say.  It’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.  Questions might include–Is there a God? Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where am I going?
