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 parish, 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.
