Christmas Cards, Carol Services, and Alpha
Sunday marks the launch of our Christmas Card, wonderfully designed by one of our children, Niamh Fenlon. We would love to encourage everyone to prayerfully choose three people to pray for daily who you would like to give a Christmas card to, and personally invite them to our Carol Services in December.
At the start of 2024 we want to provide an opportunity for every guest who comes over the Christmas season to explore the good news of Jesus. That’s why we will be running Alpha again. Alpha is a 10-week course where people invite their family and friends for a conversation about faith, life, and God. Each session begins with food and a short film about an aspect of Christianity. There’s plenty of time to discuss, ask questions, and listen to others. It’s a free and fun way for people who don’t normally come to church, or wouldn’t consider themselves Christians, to explore faith. We are offering Alpha at two different times:
Revd Roland Slade is leading Alpha on Thursday mornings 9.30am- 11.30am from 11th January, and Revd Simon Oatridge is leading Alpha on Monday evenings, 7.30pm-10.00pm from 15th January. Who would you like to give our Christmas Card to and invite to our Carol services? Who would you like to invite to go on Alpha in 2024?
Let us all pray that God would put three people on our heart to invite.
Rev. Simon Oatridge
