ALPHA
Explore life, faith and meaning in a friendly, open and informal
environment through a series of interactive sessions. All
sessions start with food, because it’s a great way to connect,
relax and build friendships. The talks are designed to be
engaging and inspire conversation. But probably the most
important part of any Alpha: the chance to share thoughts
and ideas about the talk without being corrected or judged.
There’s no obligation to say anything; it’s an opportunity to
hear from others and contribute your own perspective.
Wednesdays, Sept. 27 – Nov. 29 | 6:30-8 pm | East hall | Free

GRIEFSHARE
It may be hard for you to feel optimistic about the future
right now. If you’ve lost a spouse, child, family member, or
friend, you’ve probably found there are not many people
who understand the deep hurt you feel. This can be a confusing
time when you feel isolated and have many questions
about things you’ve never faced before. GriefShare is
a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside
you through one of life’s most difficult experiences. You
don’t have to go through the grieving process alone.
