<h1>Alpha Course Southend on Sea </h1>
<p>What is the point of life, what happens when we die? Is forgiveness possible?
What relevance does Jesus have for our lives today?</p>
<p><STRONG>What is Alpha?</STRONG></p>
<p>The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith.</p>
<p>It's relaxed, non-threatening, low-key, friendly and fun.</p>
<p>There is a meal together at the beginning of each session which gives you
an opportunity to get to know each other.</p>
<p>Listen, learn, discuss and discover. And ask anything. Alpha is a place where
no question is too simple or too hostile.</p>
<p>And it's supported by all the main Christian denominations.</p>
<p><STRONG>What's involved?</STRONG></p>
<p>The Alpha course consists of a series of talks looking at topics such as 'Who
is Jesus?' and 'Why and how do I pray?' After each talk we divide into small
groups for a time of discussion.</p>
