Rothwell Alpha is a ten week exploration of the Christian faith. There’s no pressure, just open and honest discussion where you can bring all the questions and things that annoy you about anything to do with Christianity or religion. You ask it, listen to what has got to be said and then make a decision. 
The Alpha course is designed primarily for people who aren’t churchgoers and is open to everyone who would like to attend. People attend for a wide variety of reasons - some want to investigate whether God exists, others may have attended church occasionally but feel they have never really understood the basics of the Christian faith. People come from many different backgrounds and hold many different viewpoints.
It will be held at Springhead Park House, home of Radio Worldwide (next to Rothwell Park) every Wednesday at 7:00pm starting in October 2008 for 10 weeks with a day away in the middle. Come along to our ‘Taster’ evening with no obligation, to see what it is all about.
Each session begins with a meal - a chance to get to know others. There is then a short talk, which looks at a different aspect of the Christian faith each week. This is followed by a time of discussion in the small groups, where everyone is welcome to contribute their opinion, ask questions and discuss with the rest of the group. The talks each week cover the following topics:
-
Who is Jesus?
-
Why did Jesus Die?
-
How can we have Faith?
-
Why and how do I Pray?
-
Why and how should I read the Bible?
-
How does God Guide us?
-
How can I Resist Evil?
-
Why and how should I tell Others?
-
Does God Heal Today?
-
What about the Church?
-
Who is the Holy Spirit?
-
What does the Holy Spirit do?
-
How can I be Filled with the Holy Spirit?
-
How can I Make the Most of the Rest of my Life?
The emphasis is upon exploration and discovery in a relaxed and informal environment. There is no charge for attending the Alpha course, although we ask for a contribution towards the food. If you require more information then:
