We live in a wonderful part of the country, with so many places to explore and discover, but I wonder where you go when you are working through life's big questions? No matter what questions you have, you can be sure that you are not alone in asking them!

Last year, the Anglican churches of Goring and Streatley with South Stoke ran an Alpha Course in which over 20 people each week explored life's big questions and the Christian faith, looking at what it has to say about the meaning of life. Each of the sessions looked at different issues around faith, followed by small group discussions at which no topics were off limits and much lively debate took place. Among the comments from participants on last year's course were: "Give it a go and you won't be disappointed." "Just come; you will be surprised how good it is!"

Alpha is run all around the globe, in cafes, churches, universities, prisons, homes, Bars. It is free, and everyone is welcome! No two Alphas look the same, but they generally have three key things in common: food, a talk and good conversation. It is free, and everyone is welcome!

We too are undertaking another Alpha course, which will start on Thursday 25th January 2018 in the Canterbury Room at St Thomas' Church, Goring at 7:30pm.
