Youth Alpha’  There will be a ‘Youth Alpha’ course running from St Mary’s Parish Hall in Loughborough on Monday evenings (7 – 8.30pm) from Monday 22 February and will last for 8 to 12 weeks.  All welcome.....   Please see poster in Church Porch

 What is ‘YOUTH ALPHA’’?  It is a practical introduction to the Christian Faith and is aimed at young people in Secondary school, both those who go to Church and those who do not.  Sessions are based on ‘food, friends and God sends’ and includes a bite to eat, drinks, games and activities, a short talk on a given topic and a chance to talk with others and discuss these issues outside of the ‘school’  kind of situation.  Our young people are invited to use this chance of finding out more about their faith and to begin to find some of the answers to the problems of life.  Young people or parents can contact St Mary’s Presbytery on 01509 262123 for link-up with the Leaders of the course.  See also the website: www.youthalpha.org/whatis
