Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible is a series of eight sessions that will help you uncover the story woven throughout Scripture, allowing you to get the “big picture” of the Bible and understand what it is all about! Each session includes a 30-minute film, after which refreshments will be available. Then those who wish to stay and discuss in small groups may do so, but anyone who prefers is free to leave at that point.
To begin with, why not come to one of our no-commitment Taster Sessions to find out more and to get a good idea of what it will be like? Only then do you need to decide whether or not to sign up for the rest of the course.
Either: Tuesday 12 February: 7.30 – 9.00pm (Saint Joseph’s, 67 Purewell, Christchurch, BH23 1EH)
Or: Thursday 14 February: 12.45 – 2.15pm (Our Lady, Queen of Peace, Douglas Road, Southbourne, BH6 3ER). You are invited to bring your own lunch to eat with us from 12.15pm.
*Please note: the Taster Session includes the first of the eight films, so you should come to the Taster Session even if you already know you would like to do the course. Please contact Richard Martin if you can’t make the Taster.
Either: Tuesday evenings 7.30pm (St Joseph’s, Christchurch): Mar 12, 19, 26; Apr 2, 23, 30; May 7
Or: Thursday lunchtimes 12.45pm (OLQP, Southbourne): Mar 7, 14, 21, 28; Apr 4, 25; May 2
WOW! What an amazing Alpha Celebration Evening yesterday!! (This is a reunion of everyone who was involved in our recent Alpha – guests, group leaders, catering team, welcoming team, etc, plus people were able to bring guests with them).
Last night, over 20 people chose to stand at the front of church and share with the whole group their Alpha experiences – and there were some very powerful, moving and uplifting testimonies from Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
Thank you, Lord, for the way you have touched people’s hearts, minds and souls during this Alpha journey.
