The Alpha Course
What happens at the MCC Alpha Course – online version?
The Alpha Course in MCC runs for 8 weeks and is a relaxed and enjoyable introduction to the message of Jesus. Since we are in unique circumstances these days, with the impact of Covid-19, we are currently running our Courses online with the aid of ZOOM. At these evenings, we watch an Alpha video presentation that lasts around 20-25 minutes. We then use Zoom to enjoy a discussion together on the presentation and any questions that may have arisen for those watching. It’s as simple as that.
The basic outline of the Course is as follows:
Week 1 – Introduction: Is there more to life than this?
Week 2 – Who is Jesus?
Week 3 – Why did Jesus Die?
Week 4 – How can we have Faith?
Week 5 – Why and how should I Pray?
Week 6 – How and Why should I read the Bible?
Week 7 – Who is the Holy Spirit?
Week 8 – What is the Church?
You can find out more information about the Alpha Course on its Irish website (http://ireland.alpha.org) or just by googling it on your PC. The ‘What is Alpha?’ section on the official website is particularly helpful.
If you would be interested in coming along to our next Alpha course, just send us a note to office@maynoothcc.org and we will be delighted to send you the details.
We’ll look forward to seeing you!
