Maybe you sometimes wonder ‘What’s the point of life?’, ‘What happens when I die?’ or ‘Who is Jesus – and does he matter?’ or perhaps you want to know more about Christianity. If so then the Alpha course could be right for you.

The Alpha Course will be starting in St. Mary’s again from January – March 2007, but for those who would like to join the team of helpers and anyone interested in finding out more, you are welcome to an introductory session entitled ‘Christianity: Boring, Untrue and Irrelevant?’ at 8pm in the Church on Wednesday 19^th October. This will give you a feel for the course and some advance notice of the commitment that is required. There is a particular need for a catering co-ordinator for January, offers of help for this would be much appreciated. Please contact: Chris Rutter 020 8777 9748 or alpha.stmarys@virgin.net
