Wed Alpha 5:30pm Holy Eucharist/Dinner/Discussion:

"What About The Church?"

Places are important because of the memories we have of the people who have shared them with us. I can never enter the 'olde family pew' without remembering the folks who shared it with us and those who sat around us. It is impossible to enter the sacristy of that parish without seeing a very friendly face, even though Mattie has been gone for many years now. Many of us have felt the tug of a particular place where we have been touched by others and by the presence of the Lord. This week we will examine such a place.

Wed Alpha 5:30pm Holy Eucharist/Dinner/Discussion:
"Does God heal today?"

Many people are skeptical of the notion that God continues to heal people. Frustrated by a lack of results in spite of faithful prayer, some have concluded that God is either unable or unwilling to heal those who call upon Him - yet God still heals! The subject of divine healing is a greatly neglected part of most people’s Christianity. It is rarely even discussed in "mainstream" churches. Join us this week to answer the important question: Does God heal today?

Wed Alpha 5:30pm Holy Eucharist/Dinner/Discussion:
"Why &How Should We Tell Others"

"Why should we talk about our Christian faith? Isn't it a 'private matter'? Isn't the best kind of a Christian is the one who just lives the Christian life? The short answer is that someone had to have told that person about the Christian faith. The slightly longer answer is that there are good reasons for telling others about Jesus." The Rev. Nicky Gumbel
