alpha series

Four years ago, the Alpha course changed my life. I wasn't deeply religious then, but I had a lot of questions and was seeking answers. I found a safe space in Alpha where I could ask those tough questions that many people of faith couldn't or wouldn't answer. It allowed me to express myself freely, to say what I needed to say, and to cry when I needed to cry.

Before Alpha, I had negative beliefs about Catholics and Christians, thinking they were all hypocritical or judgmental. But through the course, I realized that was a lie. I had been through some tough times, like losing a family member and dealing with heartbreak, but Alpha helped me find myself again.

I started with one course and ended up coming back a second time. Since then, I've never left. I'm now helping run an Alpha course at my church, and I feel like I have God and faith with me every step of the way.

So this is my journey
Dear God,
Thank you for always being with us,
especially in our times of need.
Help us remember that our present sufferings
are nothing compared to the glory
that will be revealed in us.
Guide us with your loving hand
and fill our hearts with hope and peace.
Amen.
