Thank you all for your patience as our basement renovation continues. Please be aware that as the rooms are completed we will star re-locating some of our activates to the spaces downstairs. Please keep a close eye on the schedules that are posted daily in the elevators and on the bulletin board near the mail boxes, as the locations published in your calendar may change, based on the construction progress.

Alpha Course
Wednesday’s at 6:30pm
Stoneybrook Lounge
Second Floor
“Alpha is for:
Anyone interested in finding out more
about the Christian faith.
Learning and laughter. It is possible to
learn about the Christian faith and to
have fun at the same time.
People meeting together. An
opportunity to get to know others and
to make new friends.
Helping one another. The small groups
give you a chance to discuss issues
raised during the talks.
Asking anything. Alpha is a place
where no question is seen as too
simple or too hostile.”
