Alpha is an opportunity for anyone here in the Shoeburyness and Thorpe Bay area to explore the meaning of life in an informal, fun and friendly environment.

It’s for everyone; all questions are welcome and you are free to discuss as much or as little as you wish. We don’t assume any background knowledge of or belief in Christianity.

Each week we’ll listen to a talk exploring different aspects of the Christian faith and then discuss these in small groups. Great fresh food will also play a major part! So come and enjoy a tasty meal before all of this in a relaxed atmosphere.

We’ll meet every Monday evening for 10 weeks from 7.15-9.45pm after starting with a Guest Supper on Monday 23 January. You don’t have to come to the whole course – just pop along to the Guest Supper and see what you think, no pressure.

Feel free to invite friends, family, colleagues, neighbours or complete strangers! We look forward to seeing you on 23 January.
