Reflection
Companionship matters. St. Paul knows this, writing to Timothy that ‘only Luke is with me’. Jesus knows it too. The seventy are sent out in pairs to every place that he intends to visit. Two is better than one. Two can encourage one another. Two can pray together. Two can hold each other to account, particularly when the bed and breakfast down the road looks tempting, the urge to trade up is overwhelming, and the command to ‘remain the same house’ feels tiresome. Discipleship is best done together, always. Even at times like this we should try to find ways to connect with one another.

ALPHA ONLINE MASHAM IS HERE!
During the pandemic there has been a surge in non-church goers engaging with Christian activities online. In reaction to this, Alpha have developed an online version of their course that is very informal and accessible.
As from Thursday 29th October 2020 a group of local Christians are running Alpha Online Masham with participants taking part via Zoom.
Alpha is an opportunity for non-believers to explore faith, life, meaning and Christian beliefs, and to air their views, whatever they are. Alpha is something proven to work that we can confidently invite our non-believing friends and relatives to.
Who do you know that you could invite to take part? Over the coming two weeks could you do the following:
Amen!
Blessings,
The Alpha Online Masham team.
