First United Methodist Church of Clanton will begin the Alpha course on Feb. 27, at 6 p.m. in the Cross Roads Café in the main church building.

This 10-week practical introduction to the Christian faith offers answers to some key questions. Each weekly session begins with an informal dinner followed by a large-group learning time and ends with small group discussion and interaction.

Alpha began in London and is now held in thousands of churches around the world.

To learn more about the course, call Brian Dovey at the church office (755-0490) or come to the introductory dinner on the date and time stated above.
