Confirmation
– Is it for YOU?
We have a confirmation service booked for 9th November. This means that
we will begin a preparation course in early September. It would be
really helpful in planning the preparation course if we knew how many
candidates we had and whether they were adults or teenagers, so if you
would like to think about Confirmation (with no commitment at this
stage) then please speak to Rev’d Jane Turner as soon as possible (648
1816)
Confirmation
in the Anglican Church both remembers and celebrates the completely new
life of Baptism, and also takes on the responsibility of an adult,
lifelong commitment. As a candidate for Confirmation you need to be
‘ready with your own mouth and from your own heart to affirm your
faith in Jesus Christ.’ But not in isolation of course. This is a
whole community affair - it’s Family. The whole people of God are
invited to share in the candidate’s decision by promising to
welcome ‘and uphold them in their life in Christ.’
