Last Sunday, 19
May, Bishop Martyn came to St Peter’s for a confirmation service. In this, the
candidates had the opportunity to confirm for themselves, the promises made in
their baptism service. These include turning to Christ and rejecting the devil
and all that is evil.
The service was
unusual in that it was in the context of St Peter’s regular “Peter’s Place”
messy church. In the service, there were the usual prayers, hymns and
commitments, but children of all age were welcome and provision was made for
them, and special crafts and activities.
Most of the
candidates came from St Peter’s, but there are also some from St Cuthbert’s,
great Glen, and Emina Kwakha, who with her family is a regular member at St
Paul’s.
We pray for all
of them in their future Christian life.
