Join a Connect Group – All are Welcome!
 
Alpha Connect creates a common space to continue the conversation of faith, life and God through small groups.  We will continue the experience of gathering and sharing with two Connect Groups.  The first is Ron Lajoie’s “Witnessing in Writing” and the second is the Metanoia video series with Fr. Dave Pivonka, Wild Goose Ministries.  These sessions are open to everyone, please share the invitation!!
 
Ron invites you to participate in “Witnessing in Writing”.  Please click on the link and see his letter for more information and “The Wonders of My Faith” guide.  Ron Lajoie may be reached at 613-525-3481.
 
The video series “Metanoia:  A Journey with Christ into Conversion” will be offered on-line every three weeks starting Thursday, June 3rd at 6:30pm with time for discussion.  While each video stands on its own, it is recommended the first three videos be viewed.  Please click on the zoom link at 6:20pm.

Witnessing in Writing
 
Dear friends in Christ,
 
The ultimate purpose of the Christian life and of the Alpha experience is to spread the good news right here where we are planted.  We are called upon to be witnesses in God’s earthly court.
 
“Be not afraid.  I have predicted all that would happen and you are my witnesses”      
(Isaiah 44:8).
 
“The God of our ancestors designated you to know His will, to see the Righteous One, and to hear the sound of His voice for you will be His witness before all to what you have seen and heard”
(Acts of the Apostles 22:14).
 
Did you ever consider writing about the wonders of your faith?  You may be the link in this amazing chain of witnesses that stretched across the centuries and well into the future.  Being called a witness is a great job description for us who follow Jesus.
 
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and many others witnessed in writing about what they had experienced.
 
We invite you now to write down the wonders of your faith as it unfolded in your life story.  Be brief and use point form.  Then, forward it to us at susanlajoie1@gmail.com  or mail to:  Ron Lajoie, 20658, RR2, Green Valley, ON   K0C 1L0.
 
Thank you,
Ron Lajoie
