SUMMARY:Alpha Mondays at St Mary’s Parish
DESCRIPTION:The Alpha Experience is for those aged 18 and up. Each session has a teaching film, and a chance to ask questions. Alpha at St. Mary’s begins February 24th from 7-9pm. Click here ( https://stmarysottawa.ca/next-steps/alpha/ ) to learn more and register!\nThere is no cost to attend Alpha. We will be meeting in the lower hall, accessible from the door nearest to the rear parking lot. Please arrive just before 7:00 PM for a snack, dessert, or beverage before we start.\nAlpha helps us discover and improve a loving relationship with God. Relationship building is only possible if it is bi-directional, and we know each other intimately. In the company of others, with similar desires and questions regarding the most important questions of life, we learn how to feel God’s presence, His tangible love for us, and how we can be filled with joy. Some questions and topics are difficult to raise within our usual circle of acquaintances and friends because we worry how we might be perceived, our lack of knowledge may be exposed, and we don’t want to appear as a fraud. Perhaps we participate in religious events out of habit and realize something in our hearts is missing, and we are desperate to fill the gap, with a joy-filled and confident love.\nAlpha encourages us to open our hearts, reveal our concerns, be real with others and experience the value of truth, love, and care by active listening and sharing our own views without threat, fear, or intimidation. This is what is offered without charge.\n
