Charvet head up our Alpha Ministry. We are affiliated
with Alpha USA and have conducted four Alpha classes in the
last four years. There is no cost to Alpha.
However the evening dinner each week will cost about
$3.00. Email fbcsunnyside@earthlink.net
for more info.
Alpha is an opportunity for anyone to explore
the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening manner over
eleven, thought provoking weekly sessions.
Alpha sessions begin with a meal at 6 p.m. Then we have an
informal time to get to know one another, for fun and brief
announcements.
The primary part of the evening is with a video teaching by Nicky
Gumbel (love the English accent), and small group meetings to
discuss the topic we have heard that night or to share
what are important questions about Christianity. Topics
covered are: Who is Jesus? Why did Jesus Die? Why and
How do I Pray? What does the Holy Spirit Do? etc.
Listen, learn, discuss and discover. And ask
anything. Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or
too hostile. There is no charge for the Alpha course, although
you will be invited to donate toward the cost of the
meal.

The Basics...
The Alpha Course is a fifteen session program which
runs over eleven weeks to provide a practical introduction to
the Christian
faith.
It offers the opportunity to explore the meaning
of life.
| Questions, questions, questions... What is the
point of life?... What happens when we die?... What relevance
does Jesus have for our lives today?... How do we deal with
guilt?... we all have questions. |

“I know of many people whose lives have been transformed
through the Alpha Course. I rejoice at how God is using
it so powerfully to renew many churches both inside and
outside prison walls.”
