Please have a think, and pray about who you could invite to come along to the course. As we are anticipating a large uptake for this Alpha course, we are looking for extra people to assist, and in particular we require help with the cooking. So if you can get involved with the preparation of food or clearing up after the meal or helping in a small group, please speak to Bert Cooke.
