ALPHA IS HERE!
What is this "Christian" thing all about? To help those searching for answers, we offer the Alpha Course
The Alpha Course begins on Wednesday May 9 and runs for 5 consecutive Wednesday nights. Billed as “an opportunity to explore the meaning of life,” Alpha is a practical introduction to the Christian faith geared for those who have a lot of questions and don’t buy easy answers. The course begins with dinner at 6:30 pm; a teaching period via DVD with Nicky Gumbel, the originator of Alpha, follows at 7:15 pm. Afterwards there is an open discussion time.

The course and registration are FREE, but we do need you to register so we know how many we will have for dinner. Fun and engaging kids Activities will be planned during Alpha so parents can plan to come!

Sunday Morning Adult Group - Starting 4/15 at 10AM
We will be hearing a recorded talk from Franciscan priest Richard Rohr on “The Journey of Spiritual Transformation for Men and Women”. Rohr is a world renowned speaker and is a leader in the men’s spirituality movement. Rohr maps out the spiritual journey we go through in life and proposes that men and women experience the journey of transformation in life from very different starting points. Come hear and discuss this very interesting talk that may provide you with new insights into yourself and others as we walk ‘on our way together.’

Missions Giving in May not otherwise designated, will go to the New England Seafarers Mission. The mission began in the 1880s. NESM welcomes and looks after the needs of working seafarers who pass through the ports and waters of New England. We're a frugal non-profit with good stewardship of the resources entrusted to us for this work.

As a Christian Industrial Mission, we stand in a long line of how the Church of Jesus Christ makes a witness to all people that they are beloved of God. We show through deeds that they have dignity as an individual created in God's image. To learn more go to http://www.neseafarers.org/about
