Confirmation is an opportunity for those who have been baptised (as babies or adults) who now wish to publicly affirm their faith and decision to follow Jesus Christ. The confirmation service is on Sunday 12th October at 4pm, during which the Bishop lays hands on each person being confirmed and we pray for God’s power to fill them afresh. It’s a day of great celebration for the whole church.
Confirmation classes will be on Thursday evenings in late September & early October (18th, 25th, 2nd & 9th) for those preparing for confirmation and for any who want to better understand the foundations of our faith.
