Courses
At St Mary’s, nurturing your faith journey is our priority. That’s why we run the Alpha Course several times each year, aimed at providing everyone the chance to explore the fundamental concepts of Christianity. This course allows for open conversations about faith in a friendly and non-judgmental setting, whether you are just curious or looking to deepen your knowledge. Come and experience personal growth and connection with others on a similar path.
The Alpha Course
The Bereavement Journey
The course comes from Holy Trinity Brompton, the creators of the Alpha course. The course lasts 6 weeks with 1 optional week to look at bereavement from a faith view point. The course aims to lay out supportive ways for the participants work their way through each very individual experience. The church is registered with HTB to run this course. The loss need not be the death of a loved one but can be the loss of a job, a disability caused by illness or even the loss of a relationship. The course has been run in Wollaston, Bozeat and in Irchester and is open to anyone who has a need for it. There has also been a sharing of ideas with the local prison, HMP Five Wells Wellingborough of how to support the men through bereavement. Moving forward the hope is to follow the path set out by AtaLoss charity for St Mary’s Wollaston to become a bereavement registered church.
This course has now been running since 2025 and it is also held outside the church in other locations wherever there is a need. It is open to all. It offers an exploration of emotions and feelings to help promote positive wellness.
