ALPHA YOUTH COURSE FOR STUDENTS
Tumut Community Church would like to extend an invitation to students.
We are hosting a 9-week series presented by Youth Alpha to discuss life and faith issues that we believe are relevant to today’s youth.
Now, more than ever, we feel it is vital to offer our young people life skills and knowledge to help them navigate these difficult times and we believe the Youth Alpha course has much to offer in this regard.
The course has been tailored specifically for young people and is designed to facilitate meaningful dialogue between people of the Christian faith and those who are seeking direction and answers to some of life’s big questions.
The event will be presented in a friendly and informal atmosphere and participants can be assured of being made to feel welcome, that their viewpoint will be treated with respect, and that they will be allowed and encouraged to ask questions on all matters that are relevant to them.
We expect that the material will appeal to those in their teens and so would encourage students aged 13 and over to attend.
The evenings will commence at 5:30 pm with the welcome, brief introduction of who we are, after which there will be 20 to 30 minutes of games and informal social interaction. At around 6:00 pm, A light meal and refreshments will be provided and we will then watch a video of the Youth Alpha presentation which will play for about 20 minutes. This will be followed by an open group discussion of the content and the evening will close at around 7:30 pm.
The course will take place over nine Fridays commencing on 17th May and will be broken into 3 groups of 3 consecutive nights with a break between each group of three. School holiday breaks have also been allowed for so, the program will run as follows.
