St. Peter's is hosting the Alpha series for both adults and youth this fall, and we need your help to make it a success.

Alpha is a video and discussion series that invites people to explore the big questions of life and faith. Alpha has been around for decades, but it’s recently been refreshed and renewed, and God is using it powerfully around the world. St. Peter's is hosting the 11-week adult version of Alpha starting September 18, and the eight-week youth version starting September 26, and we're looking for a couple dozen parishioners to join the teams.

Each session will start with a meal, and then we'll watch a video that explores an aspect of the Christian faith, and then we break off into small groups, where you get to say exactly what you think. There's no obligation to say anything, and there's nothing you can't say – seriously.  It's an opportunity to hear from others, and share your own perspective, in an honest, friendly and open environment.

We'll need people to help with set-up and tear down, we'll need hosts and helpers to facilitate discussion, and we'll need people to prepare and serve the food. We'll also need prayer support – and perhaps most important of all, we need inviters. We’ve begun a modest campaign to advertise Alpha, but the most important recruitment tool when it comes to Alpha is invitation, so we want to encourage you to start thinking about who in your life could benefit from Alpha. Friends, relatives, neighbours, coworkers. Maybe even yourself. 

We'll provide invitation cards to help you with this in mid-August, but in the meantime, guests can register using this link. Watch the video below to learn more, and feel free to like, comment and share the Alpha content we post on Facebook and Instagram over the days and weeks ahead. 

St. Peter's has come a long way and raised the bar significantly in terms of outreach & mission over the past couple of years, and Alpha is the next step in that journey. It has huge potential to grow the Kingdom – to grow St. Peter’s – so please don't miss out on this opportunity to contribute.
