Kath had grown up in church but when she was a teenager her mum and dad didn't put any pressure on her to keep going and her and her siblings stopped going.
However on those occasions when she did go back to church she would find that as soon as the congregation started singing she would get this sense that she was going to cry. And not just a little cry, but full on, outpouring of crying and she hated that feeling. To stop that from happening Kath would dig her nails into her hand to distract herself.
Well, life went on. Kath met her husband and had some kids. When the kids were toddlers she started taking them along to the local mainly music group at the church.
She was really thirsty for knowledge about God. She had tried asking her parents questions but hadn't been able to get satisfying answers out of them so she couldn't wait for Alpha to start.
Through the course she discovered that when the congregation sings, the reason she felt the overwhelming need to cry, was because she felt the Holy Spirit. That it was her soul rejoicing with God.
Regardless of what you believe, Kath thinks that everyone wants to know the truth about God and Jesus. She encourages everyone to come along to Alpha, bring your questions and figure out what you believe.
