Enjoy these Alpha stories
from different Columbus parishes!
-
- “My wife invited me to try Alpha, and after Alpha I decided to join RCIA and the Church!”
- “I was away from the church for many years, Alpha began a journey that led me back to confession and Mass.”
- “I did not think I was worthy of God’s love. I had failed to save my children. Oh how I prayed. God was there, I wasn’t listening. Alpha gave me the opportunity to learn and understand, I am loved. That was only the beginning.”
- “Wonderful experience, Enjoyed the fellowship and the atmosphere was very welcoming and non threatening. I learned a lot from what others shared.”
- “I felt physically better after the healing day when we laid hands on each other and prayed for one another. The Alpha day was very moving and meaningful. The entire program has made me feel much better about myself and my life."
- “During a prayer after our session, Michelle and Father Jim laid hands on me and prayed and I literally felt the Holy Spirit come.”
- “I enjoyed getting to know the people at my table and getting new perspectives on faith. Excellent program. I’ll miss the people at our table. I wish I could do it again.”
