Alpha Courses
An opportunity to explore the meaning of life The Alpha Course is an opportunity to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening, low key, friendly and fun way. There's a meal together at the beginning of each session which gives you an opportunity to get to know each other. This is followed by a short talk and an chance to listen, learn, ask, discuss and discover.

Our current evening course started on 29th May and will run for 8 weeks. Another course will run in the autumn. Please feel free to contact the Church Office to reserve a place on our next course or for further information. If you are able to help/host/lead an Alpha course, please contact the Church Office to discuss this further.	Our current course started on May 29th

Alpha for speakers of English as a Second Language We occasionally run the Alpha Course for those who speak English as a second language. Contact the Parish Office for more details.

LaserLight Party A popular alternative to traditional halloween parties, for children in school years from 1-6, held on 31st October each year. LaserLight includes games, crafts, hot dogs, a prayer room, singing, bouncy castles, dancing, space hoppers and face painting. In 2007, over 160 children experienced "Jelly Mania" and heard how Jesus is our best friend. Our next LaserLight party will be on 31st October 2008 - watch this space.

	Funzone Now in its seventh year, this very popular one day event for children in years 1-6 is run by the Children's Ministry Team and Dave Arrowsmith, our Children's Worker.
