What is the Alpha Course?Alpha is a nationwide course that has been running in churches of all denominations since the early 1990s. It was started at Holy Trinity Brompton in London by Rev. Nicky Gumbel and is now used all over the world. The whole course usually lasts for about 10 weeks, with a day away in the middle. A link to the Alpha web-site is given under 'Useful Websites' under 'Resources'. There is no charge for attending the Alpha course, although a contribution towards the food is invited. The next Alpha Course will start on Wednesday 13th January 2010 at St. Mary's. For further information please contact the Parish Office on 020 8656 3457 or e-mail the Alpha Coordinator.
