Alpha Course
What is Alpha?
Alpha is a series of dinner conversations that explore life, spirituality and faith in a fun, non-judgmental and open environment. It’s perfect for skeptics, the curious, anyone with major doubts or hurts or those who just want to talk about the real issues of life with new friends. Alpha begins on Tuesday, February 23rd at 6:30 for five consecutive weeks.
Hospitality
St. Philip's Sanctuary is transformed into a cozy bistro - set with tables and linens.* Chef Carl, formerly of the Hyeholde, leads the dinner team.
Talk
We share one of Chef Carl's awesome meals and watch a brief Alpha video designed to engage and inspire conversation.
Discussion
After the video, there is an opportunity to share thoughts and ideas on the topic. And, it's okay just to listen.
* During Covid 19, social distancing and safety procedures will be followed.
