Thank you all for your patience as our basement renovation continues. Please be aware that as the rooms are completed we will star re-locating some of our activates to the spaces downstairs. Please keep a close eye on the schedules that are posted daily in the elevators and on the bulletin board near the mail boxes, as the locations published in your calendar may change, based on the construction progress.

Alpha Course

Wednesday’s at 6:30pm

Stoneybrook Lounge

Second Floor

“Alpha is for:

Anyone interested in finding out more

about the Christian faith.

Learning and laughter. It is possible to

learn about the Christian faith and to

have fun at the same time.

People meeting together. An

opportunity to get to know others and

to make new friends.

Helping one another. The small groups

give you a chance to discuss issues

raised during the talks.

Asking anything. Alpha is a place

where no question is seen as too

simple or too hostile.”
