We’re gearing up for Jubilee Charlotte’s first ever Alpha Course. I’d love to say that we’ve come up with someone brand new and exciting that no other church has ever done but at the end of the day, ALPHA WORKS!! Its just a 10 week course about Christianity started a few years ago by a well-spoken vicar in London which has taken off and made a huge global impact. AND, if it ain’t broke, why fix it.
So here at Jubilee, we have been gearing up for the course by putting on some social events and inviting our friends who we think might be interested in coming along to the course. And one of these was a cook-out we had at a local park on Saturday. We had about 30 people there but here was the funny thing – it was the most international BBQ I’ve EVER been to. Without even trying to be intentional about it, these are the nationalities we had – Indian, Nepalese, Chinese, German, Russian, Kazakhstani, English and a few Americans! And it was only natural to do the obvious thing – we played cricket!! It was great!!
On Wednesday night we’re having a guys poker night and on Friday a smoothie night with the course starting on Thursday June 3rd at the University City YMCA. If you have time to pray then we’d appreciate that or if you’re in Charlotte and you’re interested in joining us, then let me know.
Cheers. Oh here’s a couple of great videos about Alpha that you may want to pass on to friends:
