CONFIRMATION SERVICE
SUNDAY NOVEMBER 22nd 6pm
Confirmation is an opportunity for young people and adults who have been baptised/christened to affirm the Christian faith for themselves—or to re-affirm their faith and commitment within the Church of England. During the service, the bishop lays hands on each candidate and prays for the Holy Spirit to strengthen them for a life of Christian discipleship.
