CONGLETON churches are joining in a new initiative aimed at helping people find out more about Christianity.

The Alpha courses are being held across the North West, and include a series of short talks, meals and discussions in small groups on many subjects.

The courses are free of charge and are open to anyone, including non churchgoers.

The Congleton churches taking part are New Life, St John's Buglawton, St Stephen's, St Peter's and the United Reformed Church.

For more details ring your local participating church or Reverend Andrew Baguley on 01928-722102.
