We hope these short videos, and the questions we have posed on our journey, might be a useful resource to use in your own personal times spent getting to know Jesus better.
You might also find them to be useful as short prompts for conversation, especially if you try reading through John's Gospel with a friend. These resources might be really helpful for that:
On that note, if you happen to be in our neighbourhood, and think you might be interested in reading through John's Gospel over a coffee (other beverages are available), feel free to get in touch via email.
