Special Events

What is Alpha? Alpha is a basic introduction to the Christian faith.  All guests are welcome for a great meal, great video and an open dialogue about life's big questions in a friendly, welcoming setting. It's no pressure, no cost, and you're more than welcome to just come check out the first few sessions to see if it's for you.  If you have never experienced Alpha - you are invited to come! If you have come to Alpha before, bring a friend! If you have more questions about Alpha, please contact Elizabeth elizabeth.sawv@gmail.com Ready to try Alpha? We start on Thursday, January 15 from 6:30 pm to 8:15 pm. Sign up in the foyer or contact the parish office or click here
