Would you like to learn more about the Christian faith and its relevance to our lives and world today? Would you like to discuss Christianity in a relaxed, open-minded, friendly environment?

Alpha is designed for those who wish to investigate Christianity, for people who are just curious, those who feel they never really got going as a Christian, newcomers to the Church, and those wanting to brush up on the basics. Participants in the course will meet for 2 and a half hours each week for 12 weeks. Each meeting will consist of a casual meal, talk, and discussion time.

We will be meeting on Tuesdays from 7:00 - 9:30 pm at St. Michael's and Thursday afternoons 1.00pm-3.00pm at Holy Cross. The schedule and topics of the course are:

• Christianity: Boring, Untrue, and Irrelevant?
