Alpha Celebration Dinner

We are in the final stages of getting ready for our Alpha Celebration Dinner which will take place at the Hampton Inn in Lino Lakes, 579 Apollo Drive this Wednesday, September 30 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. Families are welcome to attend as we have a quality educational program for children.

On Wednesday night we will start out with a dinner that will last approximately 40 minutes. Then we will have a short time of worship. Children will be then dismissed to their educational program while I give a talk entitled, “Is There More to Life Than This?” At the end of the talk I will share some information about the Alpha course which will start the next Wednesday, October 7.

The purpose of the Celebration dinner is to encourage people to get a taste of Alpha. By attending the Alpha Celebration Dinner a person is not obligated to come to the Alpha course.

Alpha is intended for people who have a lot of questions about faith, are new to the faith, or are even hostile to the faith. Wherever a person is on his or her faith journey, we will treat the person with hospitality and honor his or her questions.

I know that many people at Chain of Lakes are inviting their unchurched family and friends to come to Alpha. I am praying for everyone who is inviting. You have my spiritual support. Keep it up!

A person does not need to register for the Alpha Celebration Dinner, but it’s helpful to us. Call the Chain of Lakes office at 651-528-7321 or send an E-mail to colpres@comcast.net.

I can’t wait to see how the Spirit works through our Alpha Celebration Dinner goes. Would you take a moment to ask God to work in a marvelous way?
