Come and See is our big, warm open invitation to an adventure in faith and trust.
We're thrilled to say Come and See will be back in Lent 2026, this time looking at the profound, wonderful meal at the centre of our Christian faith - the Eucharist. Stay tuned for more information coming soon.
Church leader? Your information is this way...
What is Come and See?
Each Lent, we delve into a new aspect of Christian faith - this year we're looking at the Eucharist - or Holy Communion. It's perfect for new and old Christians alike, and can be done on your own, as a family, as a church, school or in a small group.
What does it involve?
Everyone who registers receives a short daily email to reflect on, and a weekly video from Bishop Steven exploring the themes in a bit more detail.
There are intergenerational activities each Sunday too, so you can to do together as a family.
Church organisers get everything in advance, alongside a special leader's guide and promotional resources.
I'm in, how do I sign up?
Bear with us - sign up for Lent 2026 will open later this year.
Your local parish might also be running Come and See in their services, in small groups or in another way. Check in with your vicar or small group leader and let them know now that you'd be interested in a local Come and See group.
You can also check out past years at any point on the Oxford Diocesan Learning Hub, and journey through the video reflections online in your own time.
What do people think?
We've just completed our fifth year of Come and See. Over the years we've learned that once people sign up for Come and See during Lent, they stay.
"The Bishop's language and imagery in the films was excellent and worked extremely well for us, a group of people in their 20s.”
"The videos with text were brilliant. Loved the gentle rhythm of the daily reflections."
"The leader's notes and suggestions for conversation worked well, especially helpful as I was new to leading a small group."
