Confirmation Preparation - Exploring our Christian faith: Confirmation is one of the special times that the Church describes as a sacrament a sacred moment, when God does something special in our lives. In Confirmation we confirm the power of the Holy Spirit, to guide us in our lives as Christian people, and we confirm the statements of faith that were made on our behalf at our Baptism. Exploring our Christian faith is a 12 week for anyone who wants to explore Confirmation (without no pressure to be confirmed), simply find out more about living the Christian life, or refresh their commitment. Sessions will begin on Monday 14 th January. If you would like to join in, please contact Anna with your name and details on or sorensenanna8@gmail.com The course is suitable for all ages. However, the lower age limit for Confirmation is 10 years old. There is no upper limit!
