Alpha January 2009

The Alpha Course kicks off at Saratoga Chapel on Wednesday, January 14, 2009 from 6:00-8:00pm with an introductory supper that will familiarize guests with the format and content of Alpha. This is a great way to check out the program to see if it is for you and find out who you would like to invite. Even if you miss this first dinner, you may still feel free to drop in in the first couple of weeks to check it out. Call the church office at (518) 363-0006 to let us know you are coming!

WHAT IS ALHPA?

The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith. It's relaxed, non-threatening, low key, friendly, and fun. There is a meal together at the beginning of each session which gives you an opportunity to get to know each other. Listen, learn, discuss, and discover. And ask anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile. And it's supported by all the main Christian denominations.

WHAT'S INVOLVED?

The Alpha course consists of a series of talks looking at topics such as "Who is Jesus?," "Is the Christian faith crecible?," and "Why and how do I pray?" After each talk we divide into small groups for a time of discussion.

WHO IS ALPHA FOR?

Alpha is for everyone, especially:
-Those wanting to investigate Christianity
-New Christians
-Newcomers to the church
-Those who want to brush up on the basics
