Christmas

Alpha

“Is there more to life than this?

What’s the meaning of life?

What am I doing here?”

Alpha is an experience that unpacks the basics of the Christian faith, in an open, friendly environment. It’s open to anyone who’s curious, no matter their beliefs….

Invite your friends who have questions! Bring them along to enjoy a meal, meet new people, watch a talk, and have an open conversation afterwards.

Try Alpha!

Monday 5th January. 7.15pm. Loxwood Church Room.

Email: Andy Beattie to sign up, andy@alflox.org or do so via the church website here.

Giving Sunday

If you haven’t already done so, please remember to think about pray about your generous giving to the mission and ministry of Alfold and Loxwood Church.

Full details of how to give via the Parish Giving Scheme, either to start a new regular donation, or to amend what you already give, are on our website here.

Men’s Brekkie

The next Men’s Breakfast is coming up on Saturday 17th of Jan, when James Forward will be speaking on…

God, AI & Man. In a world of artificial intelligence, what makes us human?

Pilgrim Groups

Pilgrim Groups are a place of deeper fellowship, where we support one another in prayer, and go deeper into God's word together. If you are not already in a Pilgrim Group and would like to join one, please do e-mail Richard or speak to him in church. richard@alflox.org

Prayer Central

Our 1st Wednesday of the month Prayer Meeting is coming up next on Wednesday 7th December. We will meet in Loxwood Church Room. We meet at 7.30pm for refreshments, 8pm to sing and pray, and we always finish by 9pm. There is never an obligation to pray out loud. God hears the prayer of our hearts just as well! Please do join us.
