Invitation to "Alpha-Explore the Meaning of Life" at Saint Knud parish Hall, session 1, Wednesday February 28 from 7 pm
Robert Olinski
Dear All,
With this email, we would like to invite you to join us in a greatest adventure there is - to find the answer to following question: what is your life all about? The adventure's name is called "Alpha course".
The Alpha course is an opportunity for everyone to explore the meaning of life and Christian faith. The course will run for 11 Wednesday evenings in relaxed, non-threatening, low key, and friendly atmosphere. There will be a warm meal at the beginning of each session that gives you an opportunity to meet new friends. You will be encouraged during the evening to ask direct and honest questions. The course was designed for people from all walks of life, cultures and ages, especially people who do not believe in God, fall-out Christians and those of us who dare to ask big: “Is There More to Life than This?” – my family, friendship, job, good weather and nice holidays; you name it.
Sumi, and I did Alpha in Tokyo in 2008 right after our wedding, and it was a great opportunity of meeting each other more deeply through sharing, learning from listening, especially to those who were searching for meaning. Some of the issues posed in the course were:
"Who is God? Where was he when I suffered or when I lost a dear person? Why there is so much misery in our lives if God is love? Does God has a plan for my life and if so, am I still free if I chose not to follow it?".
The purpose of this course is not to make you a Roman-Catholic but to help each other to discover who really Jesus is and who is He definitely not and why He said what He said. The course brought very tangible fruits in our lives. Thus, we would love you to come and taste the same fruits and after couple of Wednesdays, you can tell us if you also enjoy the flavor ;-).
Agenda of the evening:
19:-19:50 Welcome and dinner
20:00-20:25 DVD by Nicky Gumble from Holy Trinity, Brompton, London
20:30 – 21:20 Sharing/conversation in small group
Please, come hungry as we always begin with a warm dinner, followed by coffee & tea.
