CONFIRMATION GROUP
Most years the parish provides a Confirmation Preparation Programme for those who wish to be presented to the Bishop for Confirmation. This is a 12 week programme of growth and reflection for young Christians. It is co-ordinated by the rector in conjunction with others. In addition to the preparation sessions the young people are supported prayerfully by the whole parish community and this is most visibly the case on several Sundays leading up to the service itself when the parish family offers love, support and the promise to be faith friends.

This year this involved the presentation of a confirmation candle at the outset of the preparation programme, an oak sapling mid way for each candidate and then on the day of the confirmation by an overwhelming presence of parishioners and friends with 300+ people packed into our small church with some left standing outside in the rain!
Following the confirmation service the series continues in a more informal way with those who have been confirmed in previous years and usually involves a trip away.
