Confirmation

If anyone is interested in being confirmed, please let me know.  There will be a preparation course.   The commitment is actually the same as Baptism. So, if you have been baptized and are prepared to affirm the promises made for you at your christening, there is no reason why you should not be confirmed and every reason why you should.  Confirmation candidates might well profit by attending the Alpha Course, but it is not necessary to do so.  Given that I shall probably be leaving at the end of next year, if you’d like me to prepare you for confirmation, don’t leave it too long. It’s something I’d love to do for you.  Candidates are not usually admitted younger than twelve, but there is no upper age limit.
