Alpha Holy Spirit Day for Young People

Something is already happening at The Briars this summer. A group of young people have been working through the Alpha Youth course together and they've been inviting their friends. On Saturday 11 July, those friendships become the context for something bigger: a Holy Spirit Day, open to young people from across the Diocese.

Run by an experienced team from The Ascent, the day is open to young people aged 14 to 18 whether they come through a parish, a youth group, or on their own. You do not need to have done Alpha before. The cost is £3 per person, covering lunch, snacks, and all materials.
