What takes place here on Sunday mornings is, and will remain, a high priority in my ministry at Messiah. One of the ministries in which we have been deeply blessed is Alpha . Alpha is an opportunity for people who are searching in faith, to really discover its significance. Alpha is a place where people are able to share with others in a setting where one can begin to establish relationships. Friendships can be started.
Relationships can go beyond the anonymous wall and people can be known.
Alpha is a time when members of this church can do ministry. Whether our gifts are in preparing food, serving as meal, playing music, sharing in a conversation, offering some teaching, offering the ministry of prayer or oversee a ministry, all are possible in the context of Alpha. Next month we will be having a gathering of Alpha leaders in Minnesota and Messiah was asked to host it because we were the first Alpha to run in Minnesota. Something for which I am grateful. We now offer Alpha on an annual basis and I really want us as a body to continue to enter in and support this ministry.
