Start of new Alpha Course -- January 2012
Would you be interested in exploring the Christian faith further through 'Alpha' or within Home Groups? Our next course starts on 10th January 2012. Those who have helped with Alpha never cease to be amazed how God breaks through into people's lives, revealing Jesus personally through the working of His Holy Spirit. We read about, we hear about it, but it is wonderful when we see it actually happen to people we know. We thank God that we have been privileged to enjoy the fun, the fellowship, the food and the challenges that Alpha has opened up. Please pray for this present course, both for those attending and for those leading. For anyone, who may be interested in, or wondering about, joining an Alpha Course (now or in the future), please feel free to contact Rosemary& Martin Johnson, or Jane/Steve Gibbons - via the Church Office (Knutsford 652251). In typical Alpha tradition, each meeting begins with a warm and friendly meal, where everyone can relax and share events in their lives over the past week. After the meal, while enjoying coffee, a video is watched, after which there is opportunity to discuss the issues raised. The videos cover a series of topics week by week, starting from "Who is Jesus?" right through to "How do I make the most of my life?". Part way through the course there is a Saturday Away-Day for each group, usually held at one of the Circuit Chapels, and the course finally ends with a Celebration Evening. Experience of past courses shows that they are consistently enjoyed and valued by all involved, and frequently lead to a continuation of the meetings through the formation of Home Groups. Many new and close friendships become forged as individuals explore the meaning and relevance of the Christian faith to their lives, and grow together in their understanding and commitment.

MINISTER'S LETTER FOR NOVEMBER 2011
Dear friends
Remember, remember the fifth of November … yes, the season of Remembrance is nearly upon us once again. How does November come around so quickly. (Actually I should add to that - how does the point in the month where I have to write the letter for Contact come around so quickly!). For many Christians, November begins with solemn celebrations of All Saints (or All Hallows from where All Hallows eve - Hallowe’en comes from) and All Souls which we then follow with the Festivals of Remembrance. Somehow this year’s seems significant being 11/11/11!
