Youth Alpha Course
A nine-week course for young people who would like to explore the Christian faith and find out about Jesus.
Who’s it for?
This course is for young people aged 11-18 years old. It is also a good course for those preparing for confirmation this autumn. Why not bring a friend too and explore questions about life together?
What’s it like?
Each session begins with some snacky food (very important to keep us going!) and a bit of time when we can relax and get to know each other better. Then there’s an Alpha talk covering big issues of life and faith, such as ‘Who’s Jesus?’ and ‘Why and how do I pray?’ and ‘How does God guide us?’, followed by discussion time to talk and hear each other’s points of view.
When and where?
Wednesday evenings 6-7pm
This group is now meeting via Zoom. Please contact Jez if you would like to join in.
How to register
Please speak to our youth minister Jez Ferguson as soon as possible if you’re interested in taking part, or email jez@stsaviours.net.

The Prayer Course
‘Lord teach us how to pray.’ Luke 11: 1
Jesus answered this request by teaching the disciples the Lord’s prayer. The Prayer Course is an eight-week course, exploring how we can use the Lord’s prayer to help us improve our prayer life. It examines the importance of prayer, and various aspects of prayer, such as adoration, petition, contemplation, and much more.
Who is it for?
The Prayer Course is for anyone who wants to grow in their relationship with God. Come as an individual, or come with your home group. It’s for everyone, but will particularly benefit those who are new to prayer and those who want to develop a deeper prayer life.
What does a typical session involve?
Each week we will have an introduction, a video teaching session, discussion, and practical prayer activities to help us put theory into practice.
There will be refreshments at some point during each session.
