Deanery Confirmation with Bishop Mike

for 1 hour, 30 mins
St Mary's Church, Hawkedon
St Mary's Church, Hawkedon, Hawkedon Bury Saint Edmunds, IP29 4NH

Join us for a special church service in which a person confirms the promises that were made when they were baptised.

If you were baptized at a christening when you were a child, your parents and godparents made these promises on your behalf.

As a young person or adult, you may be ready to affirm these promises for yourself and commit your life to following Jesus Christ. At a confirmation service, you make these promises for yourself. Your friends and family as well as the local Christian community will be there to promise to support and pray for you.

Bishop Mike will lay his hands on the head of the person being confirmed and ask God’s Holy Spirit to give them the strength and commitment to live God’s way for the rest of their life.

If you would like to be confirmed, do contact The Revd Mark Woodrow who will be happy to discuss this with you.
