Confirmation is a special church service in which young people or adults confirm the promises that were made when they were baptised. It is an important part of a lifetime journey of faith as a follower of Jesus Christ.

Bishop’s prayer for those being confirmed:

Almighty and ever-living God,
you have given these your servants new birth
in baptism by water and the Spirit,
and have forgiven them all their sins.
Let your Holy Spirit rest upon them:
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding;
the Spirit of counsel and inward strength;
the Spirit of knowledge and true godliness;
and let their delight be in the fear of the Lord.
Amen
