The reason I signed up for the latest Alpha course was that I have been looking for ways to renew and grow my faith in Jesus Christ. Up to now I have been trying to do this on my own by regularly attending mass and reading my bible, but wanted to understand and know more. So I talked about attending the course with my wife and we decided to take the course together.
At the first class we found our group of six people and a moderator seated at a round table with several other groups in the room. We shared supper together and then watched a 25 minute instructional video. Following the video all the attendees returned to their table for desert and a moderator lead discussion. The discussions were voluntary and casual and resulted in people exploring and sharing their life experiences with the group. I think each person in the group shared one or more experiences that seemed to provide them with comfort and healing. I found that I came to look forward to each weekly meeting, the instructional videos, and the fellowship that our group shared with each other.
If you are looking for something more meaningful in life, give Alpha a try; we are so glad that we did.
