One question people have after they experience Alpha is: What’s next? 

Here are some ideas on how you can continue your journey after Alpha:

Create a Connect Group

A Connect Group is similar to the Alpha table group. Connect Groups can be the same individuals from Alpha or you can invite others to create a new small group of individuals or a combination of the two. You can use the same structure from Alpha:

• meal
• reflection, talk or teaching (We have plenty of ideas for you, from books to videos)
• discussion
• prayer

Connect Groups can also join a study being offered at the parish. Connect Groups take some commitment and a bit of work to facilitate, but many who join a Connect Group find it to be a deeply life-giving experience.

Join the Alpha Team - Past Alpha guests are invited to participate in future Alpha sessions as table hosts, table helpers and on our hospitality team. Through these important roles, you make it possible for others to experience Alpha - to connect and grow in faith. Thank you for your prayerful consideration.

• BE A TABLE HOST/HELPER Each table has a Table Host and Helper. The Table Host and Helper are responsible for welcoming guests, creating an environment of hospitality, facilitating conversation, praying silently for participants, and sending out a weekly email follow up to the table group. Serve Thursday mornings (9:15-11:15 am) or evenings (6:15-8:15pm), September 7 to November 16. Contact Adrian Quintero for information.

• SERVE ON THE HOSPITALITY TEAM Members assist with set-up, clean-up and the retreat experience - helping at some or all Alpha dates Thursday mornings (9:15-11:15 am) or evenings (6:00-7:30pm), September 7 to November 16. Contact Kristen Rivera for information.
