Growing Response

This short course is for people who have completed Alpha and are interested in a deeper investigation of the Christian faith. The seven week programme considers some of the issues that may affect our willingness and ability to respond to God, offering practical suggestions as to how this might be addressed. The sessions (outlined below) follows a similar format to the Alpha course, beginning with a time of gathering and refreshments, a short presentation, and then time in small groups for people to discuss the issues arising from this. A short series on how to pray more effectively is also developed within the outline.
