Alpha an opportunity to explore the meaning of life

  Commencing Thursday 14th at 8.00pm, four Tullamore churches will be starting a new venture called the Alpha Course, in Dempsey's Bar, High St.  The Alpha Course is a relaxed, informal and easy going way of
discussing the big questions in life, "who am I?  Is there any purpose in life?"
The free 11-week course focuses on the teachings of Jesus
and looks at the evidence for who Jesus is and what he taught. 
Participants meet weekly and listen to a talk - either live or on DVD - and
then break into small groups to discuss it and questions arising from it.
Contact details: Catholic Church 9322415; Church of Ireland 9321731; Methodist Church 912020; Presbyterian Church 93603200

Tullamore: €4420; Durrow €296  Envelopes: €1955
