Over 30 people came to our first Alpha session in Meltham last Wednesday. It doesn’t matter if you didn’t come along then, you can still start this week where we will start with food, then watch a film “Who is Jesus?” followed by a chat in small groups. Each Wednesday starting at 6:30pm in the Church Hall.
To recap on the first session, we started with some delightful food including desert and then watched the following video and then had a chat around these questions below. Watch the video using the link here and then think about your answers.

- How and why did you end up coming here today?
- If there was one question you’d like answering by the end of the Course, what would it be?
- What makes you happy?
- We are going through some really challenging times at the moment – at home and abroad. Up to now, if you have thought about life’s big questions, where did you go for the answers? Partner/family/friend/within yourself/church?
- Is this it? Do you ever think – there’s got to be more to life than this?
- There’s a point in the Video where Dr Francis Collins is asked by a patient “What do you believe Doctor?” Have you ever been asked that? How would you answer?
- Is faith a crutch? What does that mean?
- One of the key messages is that we are known, and that we are loved by God regardless, that we are forgiven – does this make any sense to you? Is this important to you?
You’re now up to speed. See you there on Wednesday!
