Alpha Course Programme, Autumn 2007

The Alpha course addresses key issues relating to the Christian faith. It is for everyone - people who want to find out about Christianity as well as Christians (of any denomination) wishing to brush up on the basics. Alpha sessions typically consist of a shared meal followed by a short talk and a small-group discussion.

Our current Alpha course is run by the York Community Church jointly with the Holy Trinity Church, Heworth, and Heworth Methodist Church.

All Tuesday evening sessions except for the first one take place in Holy Trinity Church Hall, Melrosegate, Heworth. They start at 7.15pm, to finish by 9.15pm.
