Want to know more about who Jesus is? Want to build a closer relationship with Him? Then this year's Diocesan Lent course from Bishop Philip is for you!

‘Knowing Jesus’ focuses on key moments in the book of Acts to help us know Jesus while tying in with the Diocesan Centenary focus of ‘All for Jesus’.

‘This series will help us to know about Jesus as we seek to understand more about who he is, what he has come to do and how he sets us free. It will also help us to know Jesus as we explore what to means to be in a deeper relationship with him and to offer our whole lives to him.’
