We're running Alpha again this trimester!!!

“Wonderfully welcoming group and many interesting conversations” - Mell

Alpha is a course designed to help explore questions and converstations about faith, life and God. It’s involves watching a eating dinner watching a video and disscussing it in groups. Alpha is also great way to meet people and build friendship and community at Uni.

The next course in Tri 2 runs on Tuesdays, 5.30-7.30pm, starting on July 21. It ends on September 22 (note: we don’t meet during the mid-tri break)
