Family, friends and community, here is an invitation to start off the New Year in the correct path, come join our brothers and sisters at Holy Spirit in Kennewick.

IS THERE MORE TO LIFE THAN THIS?

Would you like one night a week to relax, fill your tummy, head and your heart?
A new program that explores life and the Christian faith in a friendly, open and informal environment begins on Wednesday, January 11 at Holy Spirit Church, Kennewick, in the Parish Activity Center. Alpha, (the beginning) is an interactive program that runs once a week for 11 weeks, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and incudes a meal, a short talk or video on the Christian faith, and an opportunity for small group discussion. Ages from 15-100 are welcome to attend and babysitting is provided for those younger! No matter your faith base or spiritual level, Alpha is guaranteed to enrich your life.

Do you ever wonder…
• How Can We Have Faith?
• Why and How Do I Pray?
• Does God Heal Today?
• What is the Holy Spirit?

Ask a friend to come along or simply come and join others. For more information or to sign up, contact the Parish office, 7409 W. Clearwater Avenue, or contact the program coordinators, Rob and Kristi Privette at rprivettevet@yahoo.com or at 509-438-1222.
