Sunday 28 April Confirmation Service

The confirmation service at St Nick’s last Sunday evening was a very joyous and uplifting occasion led by Bishop Jonathan, with a large number of candidates. They each gave their testimony before being confirmed, including our very own Tim and Pam. Standing in front of a huge congregation to give my testimony I would have found very daunting, so well done to all of them, especially Tim and Pam.  Confirmation can mark a transition, particularly for younger candidates, from inherited belief to chosen conviction. For adults, it offers a meaningful opportunity to affirm their faith publicly, sometimes after a long or difficult journey. Ultimately, at the end of the service, all the candidates had given a thoughtful “yes” to faith and commitment to Jesus.  And so, a big welcome to Tim and Pam in their journey of faith.  At the end of the service, I knew more about them, after hearing their testimonies, than I did at the beginning of the service!
