Last year Trevor came on an Alpha course, he comments: “My journey into faith was totally unexpected. I wasn't looking for it, I didn't think I needed it until I attended an Alpha evening to support my son who was exploring his faith. That evening I listened to people share their amazing stories and life experiences. This inspired me to explore faith myself. This has taken me on a journey that has enriched my life beyond expectation and I have met some of the nicest and inspirational people I know “. Alpha is a safe, relaxed place to explore faith alongside others. Want a safe space to explore your questions about life? Want to discover more about the Christian faith and who God is? Want to be inspired? Alpha is for everyone - people who have never been into a church and people who have been in church for years; people who have questions about life and are not sure what it all means, and people who want to explore their faith a bit more. Alpha 2023 at St Cuthbert’s/Holy Trinity takes place in September/October by sharing food and discussing life’s big questions together. Come and join us on a weekday evening this autumn as we explore Alpha together. Interested? Want to find out more? contact James (01325 264905 or james.harvey@stcuthbertsdarlington.org.uk).

Be close to all of us who mourn, that we may find comfort and hope in your love, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest...
