Alpha is starting this week in Udny, meeting at the Coffee Apothecary, Udny for an introductory session on
Tuesday 21st January, at 7.30pm.
Alpha is a chance to explore life and the Christian Faith in a friendly, open and informal environment.
Food will be served.
So come and see what it’s all about.

Quote for the week:
Christianity is a way of being in the world that is simple, non-violent, shared, and loving. However,
we have made it into an established “religion” that avoided actually changing lives. One could be warlike,
greedy, selfish, racist, and vain in most of Christian history and still believe that Jesus is “personal Lord and
Saviour”. The world has no time for such silliness any more. The suffering on Earth is too great.
Richard Rohr
A new initiative started by Sally Magnusson - Playlist for life – is hoping to set up locally.
Several churches are involved in a pilot program, and with 1 or 2 volunteers, we could join in.
It uses music to engage and involve those with dementia.
Training is provided and the commitment is possibly one evening a month.
See your elder for information
