===========================
ALPHA WEEKEND (IN PERSON)
with Pristine Laroza
June 14 and 15
10:00am - 1:00pm
Freewill Offering
Alpha is a series of interactive sessions where people can explore life, faith, and meaning in a safe, non-threatening, non-compelling, and honest environment.
-----
Invite a friend and join us for a series of videos and group conversations that explore the Christian faith in an open, friendly environment. At each online Alpha session, you watch an episode on a different question of faith - and then have a chance to share your thoughts and hear what others think. You can say anything you like, or nothing at all. Everyone's welcome, no matter their background or beliefs.
Pristine is a new addition to the Outreach Team at FCJ Christian Life Centre. Pristine is a former nurse with experience in research and education, as well as over 10 years of experience in pastoral care and ministry. Pristine is passionate about providing a holistic approach and responding to the growing needs of the youth and environment.
