<description><![CDATA[<h1 class="pg-title"><strong>WHAT IS ALPHA?</strong></h1>
<div class="pg-body">
<p>Many of us have questions about life, faith and meaning. Alpha is a series of interactive sessions exploring the basics of Christian faith.</p>
<h3>WHO IS ALPHA FOR?</h3>
<p>Alpha is for anyone who's curious. The talks are designed to encourage conversation and explore the basics of the Christian faith in a friendly, open and informal environment. No question is out of bounds and you are free to discuss as much or as little as you wish.</p>
<h3>HOW DOES IT WORK?</h3>
<p>Alpha runs in our church building. Each session starts with a short video and a discussion in a small group where you can share your thoughts. At any point, if you think Alpha isn't for you, that's not a problem. There's no pressure, no follow up and no charge.&nbsp;Alpha will run weekly on a Monday at 8 pm and each session will starts with refreshments and something to eat.</p>
<h3>HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?</h3>
<p>Alpha is free.</p>
<h3>WHEN'S THE NEXT ALPHA?</h3>
<p>&nbsp;Alpha starts on Monday 7th September at 8pm (coffee and refreshments served from 7.30pm)&nbsp;</p>
