Tonight is the second full week of the Alpha course our church is running, not counting the celebration supper / kickoff meeting that we had. I’m excited too. The meal will be pizza from Pointers, a pizzaria that’s been in business for about 12 years, close to our house. If you’re in St Louis, take a look, you wont be disappointed. The food is excellent!
We have a diverse group of people no matter how you look at them - education, age, marital status, spiritual walk. Discussions have been lively so far and there no-one seems to be apathetic; everyone has a hunger for more than just the material that the course teaches, everyone seems hungry to experience more of the reality of Jesus. It’s humbling to see. Its humbling to look and think that I used to be that way and ask where is that fervour nowadays? I may be a leader in the group but each time I participate in the course I still learn something new; I am challenged every time to go deeper with God.
