What is Alpha?
The Alpha Course had its beginnings in England and is now offered in
countries around the world. Mt. Zion's special
Alpha course is designed for
the Wright State International Friends Chinese MBA students, their spouses,
and their American mentors. It will be a six-week
opportunity to explore the validity and relevance of the Christian faith
for our lives today. It is a practical introduction to the basics of
Christianity with opportunity for debate and discussion. The
style of Alpha is informal, friendly and non-pressured. Alpha is enjoyed and appreciated as much by those who have never set foot in a church as it is by those who once attended and by the regular churchgoer. No matter what their background, whether investigating Christianity for the first time or revisiting their faith, participants get a lot out of an Alpha Course. Each week people meet together for a talk on topics such as "Who is Jesus?", "Why Did Jesus Die?", "Why and How Do I Pray", and "How Do I Make the Most of the Rest of My Life?", followed by small group interaction. There is a one-day seminar near the end of the course, which focuses on the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Who is Alpha for?
What's involved? The evening Alpha course begins with a video talk. These talks will have Chinese subtitles. After the video, we divide into smaller groups for coffee and refreshments and discuss questions raised from the talk. What will it cost? There is no charge for the Alpha course. When and where? The evening Alpha course will run November 1, November 8, November 15, (no class November 22), November 29, December 6, & December 13. There is also one Day Away. The course will be held in the Ober's home. Maps/directions will be emailed to all who register. How do I
