Dear Friend of the Minster

Good morning! The head article today is all about our upcoming Alpha Course. Anyone wishing to confirm their faith or have questions before doing so and wish to explore those questions, this is the course for you.
We have the Youth Alpha course starting on Sunday 28th April for 10-18 year olds. The Adult course starts 30th April.

The calendar on the website is now up to date and current but still has plenty more to be added - work in progress! -so keep checking back, we've a lot up coming.

But if organised events are not your thing then how about our Warm Space morning every Wednesday from 11am - 4pm where you can come relax, drink tea and catch up with friends....or make new ones! No agenda, no timescale, just to sit and be. We Welcome you.

With Kind Regards,

Can You Help?

Alcester Food Festival, Saturday 18th May 2024

Last year, through our presence at the Food Festival, we raised over £300 for TearFund through a bake sale, as well as having a team of people on hand to welcome thousands of visitors to the Church and to Church Green. We'd love to do the same again this year - it's a brilliant opportunity to demonstrate that 'Everyone is welcome' and to bless our community. If you could help this year by baking cakes, selling on the stall, meeting people in the church or on the green, then please contact Daniel.
