Alpha LogoSt. Peter's will be hosting the Alpha Program beginning in September, 2010.  Alpha began at Holy Trinity Brompton in central London, in the late 1970s, and thousands of churches around the world have used Alpha for parishioners to learn more about Jesus and their faith, as well as using this tool to bring new friends to Christ.  We will be talking about lots of great topics - here is a small sample:
Who is Jesus?
Why and how do I pray?                     
How does God guide us? 

More information will be coming soon - reserve your Sunday evening for this great learning and fellowship time!  
 
For more information, contact Paige Hanks at paigehanks@aol.com or 214-704-9430.
