This year Lent Groups will be following a course based around the TV drama series The Chosen, the story of four Biblical characters and the impact Jesus had on them. We will be watching 5 episodes over the course of Lent and discussing these, following guided notes. There will be a number of groups across the benefice, on a Tuesday lunchtime and then a repeat of that session on a Wednesday evening if there are two or more people interested in an evening session.
If you are interested in being part of the evening group or want to know more, please contact Julia: [email protected] If you want to come to the Tuesday lunchtime group just turn up for session 1 and bring your packed lunch! The same material is used on both days so if you cannot attend one you can catch up by joining the other group, where it will be repeated. All Welcome.

This is a 4 session course. You are welcome to come when you can or come to every session.
