SUMMARY:Alpha | Evening
DESCRIPTION:The Alpha course is a series of sessions exploring the Christian Faith. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to foster conversation. Alpha is run all around the globe\, and everyone is welcome. No two alphas look the same\, but they all have three things in common: a free dinner\, a quality talk\, and plenty of good conversations. \n\n\n\nUnplug. Connect. Try Alpha. \n\n\n\nWhile ‘Alpha | Evening’ is FREE\, it is also a catered event\, so we do ask that you RSVP to the church office. You can email your registration to: office@villagebaptist.org.nz

SUMMARY:Ten Words
DESCRIPTION:In Genesis\, the bible describes God speaking creation into existence. In Exodus\, the Bible describes another creative act that resulted from God speaking: the establishment of his people at Mt Sinai. It is because of this connection between creation and the Ten Commandments that the earliest traditions didn’t call the Ten Commandments\, the Ten Commandments\, but instead\, the Ten Words.  \n\n\n\nIn this series\, we explore God’s Ten Words and how these ancient words speak to modern times.
