Alpha Sunday

This Sunday, January 22nd, will be "Alpha Sunday" at Central. I have the privilege of preaching, and much of the traditional sermon time will be given to testimonies -- some live, some on video -- of people from Central whose lives have been changed as Jesus met them in the Alpha Course.

In addition we'll have a table in Central's lobby where people can sign up for Alpha. We haven't had a large group go through Alpha since the fall of 2009, so many people at Central have never had the opportunity to try Alpha. We'll also be encouraging people to plug in as volunteers in a variety of roles.

Also, (and this is exciting) we'll be promoting our Alpha Philippines trip coming up in just a couple months. We're sending a small team to the central Philippines to do a "GAT" -- Global Alpha Training -- to train and equip church leaders in the Philippines to lead Alpha. I believe God is going to do great things through this trip, both for the churches in the Philippines, and for Central!

If you're in the Elk River, MN area, come to Central this Sunday! If you've never done Alpha, this is a great opportunity to find out more. If you're not in the local area, you can still check out Alpha -- there are Alpha courses meeting all over the world. Check this page out to find an Alpha course near you.
