Diary it now to be part of this special opportunity to gather for spiritual growth, worship and encouragement, with inspirational leaders. Bishop Eleanor Sanderson will share about discipleship – what it is, how we can grow in confidence as disciples of Jesus, and how we can all get better at making new disciples.

Whatever your age, and whatever your stage – whether exploring faith, new to faith or seasoned Christian.
