Confirmation Service

On Sunday 27 August we held our Annual Confirmation service in the Shore Chapel. In a service that was presided over by Bishop Chris Edwards, 11 boys stood publicly to declare their desire to follow Jesus in their lives. In a time when many might think twice about sharing their thoughts and opinions, these young men did this before their family and friends. We were reminded by the Bishop that because of Jesus and his death on the Cross for us, we can have a relationship with God. Bishop Edwards referred to John 14 and the preparing of a place that Jesus has already done for those that follow him. These 11 boys were declaring their desire to follow Jesus. Of course, we need help in all sorts of areas in our life and we were also reminded as people to support each other, affirm faith and pray for each other. Our desire is to do this for these confirmees into the future.
