Join us Tuesday\, October 27\, from 7 to 8 pm at Grace Church for an hour of prayer for Texas. We will ask God to work in the election process\, to give wisdom to those who serve in government\, and to accomplish His purposes in our state. \nThis is not a political rally. It is a time for the people of God to seek Him together and be reminded that we are called to be salt and light right here in Collin County. Come and stand in the gap for Texas.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

We’ll share a meal\, watch a short video that introduces a key topic of the Christian faith\, and then have relaxed\, honest conversation in small groups. There’s no pressure and no prerequisites—just a place to listen\, ask questions\, and explore. \nBeginning February 16th\, join us Tuesdays at 6:30 PM for dinner\, conversation\, and discovery. \nVideo about Alpha \n________________ \nCommon Questions:\nWho is Alpha for?Alpha is for seekers\, skeptics\, and those who are simply curious. Everyone has a welcome seat at the table for authentic conversation to discuss and dig into big questions about life. \nWhat happens at a typical Alpha evening?Each evening includes dinner\, a short video that explores a topic of the Christian faith\, and a relaxed small-group discussion where you can share your thoughts\, ask questions\, or simply listen. \nDo I have to talk during the discussion?You’re welcome to participate as much or as little as you like. This is a safe space to share or ask questions without judgment or shame. \nIs there a cost to attend?Dinner is provided and there is no cost to attend. \nDo I have to come every week?We encourage attending all eight weeks to get the most out of the experience\, but we understand that schedules can sometimes make that difficult. \nCan I bring a friend?Absolutely! Alpha is a great experience to attend with a friend. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
