INVITATION TO CONTINUE THE JOURNEY

ChristLife ‘FOLLOWING CHRIST’ course

When Jesus called his first Disciples he said, “Come Follow Me.” He still makes that call to us today. The ‘ChristLife’ series is an opportunity for you to respond to that call and continue that journey you embarked upon with Alpha.

FOLLOWING CHRIST is a 7-week course with a one day Retreat to help you grow as a disciple of Jesus. The course will commence on TUESDAY 15 SEPTEMBER 2026 at 7:00pm in HOLY ROSARY PARISH CENTRE, 503 Ormeau Road, BT7 3GR.

Each evening will follow a format similar to the Alpha Course and include a video presentation and small group discussions each evening. We will also have time for tea and coffee and a little something to eat! The evening should last no more than a couple of hours.

To register for ‘FOLLOWING CHRIST’ course, please send your full name, your e-mail address and mobile telephone number to stbrigids@downandconnor.org
