St Edward’s will be hosting our first ever Alpha program starting on October 11!

Alpha is a 12-week journey where we explore many facets of our Christian faith.  A typical evening of Alpha will include warm hospitality to welcome people, some music, a short video exploring the topic of the evening and an open discussion in a small group of 6 to 8 people.  Alpha is not just for members of our parish.  It is intended for anyone and we would encourage you to invite a friend to come with you, even if they have not been to a church in years!

We are teaming up with St Luke’s parish for a few of the evenings as is shown in the schedule laid out below.  For four sessions we will be meeting with St Luke’s Alpha group at their parish in DDO.  The remaining sessions will be at St Edward’s. Please send us an email if you are interested in attending here.
