Announcements for August 21st

ALPHA starts on September 21 & 22:
This is a great opportunity for you to invite your friends to come and investigate the meaning of life from a Christian perspective in a fun and relaxed way. The course lasts nine weeks and covers topics like- Who is Jesus? Why did He die? How does God Guide me? How do I pray? The talks will be given live by Lon Allison, Director of the Billy Graham Center at Wheaton College and Allison Borton, a young dynamic woman who was previously on staff in WBC’s Student Body. After the talks there is open discussion around tables.

There are two options- Alpha for women on Wednesday mornings 9:30-11:30am or Alpha for everyone Thursday nights at 6:30-8:30pm. Both courses are free, although participants may wish to give a donation for the food. Pick up invitation cards and brochures at the Welcome Desk. Contact Lynne Morris at lmorris@wheatonbible.org .
