Free Dinner and a Movie September 13th – The Alpha Course

Ever wondered what it’s all about? Alpha is a worldwide phenomenon. It’s found in over 160 countries. It’s run in tens of thousands of churches of all denominations. More than 15 million people have taken this opportunity to explore the meaning of life. Perhaps it’s your turn.

What Is Alpha?

Alpha is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life in a relaxed, friendly setting. The Alpha course usually meets once per week for 10 weeks, and includes an amazing one-day or weekend getaway. Each session, people enjoy great food, laughter and learning in a fun and friendly atmosphere where no question about life or God is seen as too simple or too hostile…questions like—Is there a God? Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where am I going?

Peace Lutheran Church in Lombard will be holding an introduction dinner starting at 6:15 on Monday September 13th.  Just come and enjoy a great dinner, watch an entertaining video and see if you would like to take the alpha course.
