Lent Course
You are most welcome to join either of the three small groups looking at a new Lent Course from the Diocese of Exeter for 2024: "Come and See". Written and produced by Rev’d Jeremy Putnam, It looks at the gospel references for Come and See and explores how we can share our own faith with others in an authentic and engaging way. You can download the Course Booklet for free here.
Two of the groups will meet in St Stephen's Church (Monday afternoon and Tuesday evening), with the third taking place in Weston, Bath on Wednesday evening. Contact us for more details.
