Alpha is a series of interactive sessions exploring the Christian faith. Each of the eleven sessions will include a meal together, a short film and a discussion where you can share your thoughts with a small group. There’s no pressure, no follow up and no charge. The next Alpha course is expected to start at the beginning of October. If you’d like to try Alpha or have further questions, please email us at alpha@stjohnshw.org.uk and we will be in touch.
